Prompt: Closet.

Okay, so in retrospect, throwing everything into the closet probably wasn’t one of my best ideas. Still, with all my extra energy, I couldn’t bear just sitting around and waiting until Hidir woke up. Besides, what harm could a little reorganization do?

At least, that’s what I thought thirty minutes ago before I completely rearranged Hidir’s closet to make room for the kingsbane shipment I had brought. Now, I realize that they’re not supposed to go in the closet, but all the shelves were full and the back storage room is still under construction from my last little mishap.

But with the effects of the kingsbane finally wearing off, I’m beginning to realize that I’ve made yet another huge mistake. Well, more than one mistake.

My second mistake was the closet. Yes, I’m probably going to be spending the rest of today putting everything back to the way it was; Hidir’s very particular about putting things exactly where he wants them.

Then again, I might not even be around for the reorganization of the place. Remember that little warning label on the kingsbane bottle? ‘When used in the incorrect dosage, causes hallucinations, brain damage, and death.’ Yeah, well about two seconds ago, I realized that I never actually rearranged the closet. In fact, I’m not even sure I brought the kingsbane with me in the first place.

At least I realize that I’m hallucinating. Or rather, I think I’m hallucinating?

Uh oh…

Final Comments: I had fun writing this one! I didn’t actually think about making the protagonist hallucinate until the very end, so the beginning might not really match up. Or maybe it does because the protag believes he/she (haven’t decided yet) is hallucinating??
