A Series of Drabbles: Day 13

Thirteenth of December, 2011


Todays Word of The Day: 


Quonk n

  1. Unwanted noise picked up by a microphone in a broadcasting studio.
  2. Audience chatter which disturbs the performer. 

I’ve been having a rough tournament this time around, It’s Stockholm and I never really liked Stockholm. It’s an in door event and I can’t see the sky. My head’s not even making sense today, all that comes out of my mouth is total jibberish.
Today I’m playing a newcomer who’s having a great tournament and I’m actually a little afraid that I’m not going to win, a feeling I haven’t exactly felt in a long while but this tournament is just a mess, I’m a mess today and I am even surprised I can stand on my feet.

Finally, when it’s my turn I attempt going into my pre-game bubble, that bubble everyone has just before they go out and do their job. I’m not in that bubble today, everything just bothers me and I feel weird. I don’t want to go play today, there’s something I’d much rather do but I can’t pinpoint it.

I don’t even appreciate the overly splendid scene the Swedes have created as we walk out; I just want to get it over with and go home.

The audience is wired tonight, I know that them being here means I get paid in the end but they’re so loud. They’re so incredibly loud, both when they’re screaming and when they’re just waiting between duels. Their chatter bothers me; I rarely pay attention to it but tonight it seems like they’re bees, a big cloud of bees just preparing to strike at me and I let it bother me.

Today’s is going to be a really long day.
