Charli’s Flash Fiction Challenge:
April 25, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes exhaustion. Who is exhausted and why? Can you make art of exhaustion? Go where the prompt leads!
Exhaustipated
Ritu 2019
Tired?
Seriously, you don’t have a clue.
Yes, so what? You get up, get ready, catch a train and work 9-5. The evening commute is hard, so you need a drink at the end of the day. Then you sleep. And repeat.
At least you sleep.
Me?
I’m not sure what time I wake up, because I’m not entirely sure I go to sleep. It’s an endless round of feeding, changing, getting housework done whilst he sleeps, then all over again. Babies don’t have a clue about tiredness.
Exhausted?
No. I’m exhaustipated.
Simply too tired to give a sh*t!
But I Smile Anyway...

You have said it, Ritu. My little changeling had his days and nights muddled. I have never been so tired.

It’s a great word, isn’t it. But I can’t take credit… It is from some graphic I read a few years ago on Facebook and its been a phrase I’ve used many a time! 😍

How can an exhaustipated give a sh*t? Exhausted and constipated? Take a laxative. Oh, too exhausted to take one, I suppose😁
