 PROMPT: That drink you had tasted a little strong or maybe that food tasted a little weird. Either way, something fermented way too long or was misidentified. This was not planned, it was an accident. Everything is starting to feel a little funny and look a little funny. In fact, everything is just funny.

Hermess Flyff was trotting through the woods with an okay mood. The weather wasn’t at its best as it was raining a little but this didn’t really bother Hermess that much. We was just randomly wandering around today with not set plan or destination. He was just traveling without a goal or the need to really do anything which was nice for a change. He was just randomly wandering around curious to see where he would end up. He was wondering what places he would find and who he was going to meet today. Maybe new friends? Or maybe not. He was definitely going to try something new today he could just feel that. What it was going to be? To be honest he had no clue about it just jet.
He just continued his journey through the woods looking at all the trees. At places is was rather dark around but he sort of liked that. At the darker places he started to look around for mushroom he could collect but he wasn’t very lucky with that today. Maybe today was for something else. He continued to walk and found a spot with some really nice looking mushrooms in a lighter part of the thick woods. He didn’t dare to eat them as he was afraid they could be poisonous but he took some with him anyway. Happy with his finds but a bit disappointed he hadn’t met anyone yet he decided to maybe go home. Maybe he’ll see someone on the way back.
He walked past a few funny looking trees and realized he wasn’t sure what the way back was. He did come from the left or not? He looked around for a way home when he saw a fruit tree with what looked like apples. He did remember seeing it before but he hadn’t put much attention to it then. Now it made him feel he was going to right way. He was pretty sure now where his home was from here.
But he didn’t leave just yet as he saw a few apples on the ground. “I must be lucky to find a bunch of delicious looking apples.” So he trotted over the them and looked at them some better. It looked like they had been lying there for some time. He hoped they didn’t spoil. It weren’t berries or mushroom he had to be careful with he was very sure that they couldn’t be poisonous only maybe taste bad. So there wasn’t much harm in trying one. The took a small bite from one apple and it didn’t taste to bad. It did taste a bit funny but it was strangely delicious so he took another bite and another one. Before he knew it he had eaten three whole apples. He started to feel a bit funny now maybe he ate to much apples.
He remembered it was time to go home and that he was just busy going there before he found the apples. He now however just like before didn’t know which way to go. Everything looked strange. The trees he saw earlier looked different and where … moving? He didn’t notice any winds so the trees should be moving this much. Where they even moving or was there something wrong with his eyes? No of course not his eyes where fine! Or not … did he see TWO big rock before? It used to be one… right? He tried to turn right to look if he recognized anything there but he noticed that he really suddenly could walk this well anymore. He started to swing from left to right while he saw everything moving. What was going on? Was this because of the apples he ate? Was that really possible? “No, it must be something else apples can’t do this” he said to himself loudly. “Don’t be silly”
Maybe he felt better in the air so he tried to fly but his wings didn’t seem to work properly either just like his legs. He got into the air a little bit but landed quickly after rather harsh. Okay so flying wasn’t going to work either. He probably had to stay here till whatever was going on had passed. Maybe he just needed to stay here a little while longer. He wasn’t in any danger after all. Whatever was going on wasn’t dangerous and probably his own fault somehow.
It luckily had stopped raining a little while ago so he wasn’t standing there in the rain or in harsh sunlight as it was cloudy. He soon realized that he could stay there standing as his legs felt so wobbly he fell to the ground. He looked around surprised seeing the trees dance this time. He wanted to dance with them but landed on the ground again right away. So there was no dancing with the trees today. He looked at some of the left over apples and saw them sort of flying away? That was strange to see. He wasn’t going to follow them as he already knew he couldn’t fly right now. He looked again and the apples where still there and hadn’t moved at all. So it really were his eyes playing tricks on him this time.
He now knew what he had to do just rest a while. Close the eyes and wait for it all to stop moving and turning and dancing. He needed to wait till he saw everything correct again. He just needed to fall asleep for a while in this save spot and go home when he felt better and everything made sense again. If everything made sense again he could easily find his way home. He was really sure it would be easy for him when his mind acted normal again. He couldn’t stand now anyway and he needed to close his eyes to stop seeing things fly.
So that is what he did. Hermess slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep where he had strange dreams about flying fruits as he was melons and strawberries. He was going to walk home later after he woke up and hopefully felt normal again. But for now he was sleeping the strange feeling away. END
