Lettersh shlurring down the page
Jumumbling before my clumsy eyes
Shpawn like twirling bacteria
Emotions boiling, overflowing, boiling, overflowing
Frothy and uncontrolled, they flood pararagraphsh
Fervent ink singes a paper in the hole
All shense losht in drunken dribblings
Collapshing under the weight of thoughts unguided
I shlip towards unconsciousne-

Author's Comments

:shrug: A bit of an experiment, I quite like it. A change from my usual style.

For a contest where I had to write 50 words on the prompt "pissed prose" or "berol burns, biro smudges". I did not place :)

Anyone with much experience on how you talk when you're drunk, I'd be happy to hear your advice on making it more authentic. (Not so much on the word use, I'm aware you probably wouldn't use a fair few of those words...) Particularly with reference to how much slurring occurs - every 's' or just some of them?

Heee larious. :) Jumumbling cracks me up. Personally, I think it could use a little more punctuation for pauses and maybe some words in the wrong places? The whole, 'i swear to drunk I'm not god', sorta thing. Anyway, fun piece!

Thank you! I didn't want to put end-line punctuation in because it messes with the flow a bit and I felt the line breaks made it fairly clear, but I never know whether to put it in or not really... Some people tell me I ought to put it in and some say I ought to take it out, so I'm muddled :shrug: One line's got words in the wrong place but it would've been good to put more in, that's always entertaining. Thanks for the constructive criticism!

I agree, "pararagraphsh" made me laugh.

Of course, it might differ from person to person, but I never noticed myself slurring when drunk. O.o I dunno, I suppose I should ask a friend or something. >.>
