After a day of napping between vomits I have found myself with the hiccups. Perhaps I was overzealous when I could finally keep down water and dry toast, gulping and chewing and sucking in air. As if my abdominals needed more of a workout. I'll have a six-pack come morning. So I hold my breath and drink a glass of water and hold my breath again. Still I stifle these bursts.
And then suddenly they stop. Gone. My breathing and my body return to, well, not normal. But I am unencumbered. My stomach hurts, my knees have bruises from my bathroom floor. I take things in too quickly. And then I pay the price, however small or short.
