Prompt #4 Erratic


My eyes hurt. The headache I’ve been fighting since 6am isn’t going anywhere, meds or no meds. It’s at bay. I need to finish my work. I’m alone today. My assistant’s son is sick.

I used to get migraines regular as clockwork. Now they come sparsely. When they show, I usually get meds in time to hold off the worst. Now it’s like a sinus headache. Persistent, low pain that’s somehow worse than the head splitters.

I read once that there are no nerves in your brain, and the scientists don’t know that much about headaches. Science is erratic too.
