The scurrilous and reprehensible pigpen-scent that had been part of her
accursed life receded, Maura was left with an unidentified sense of
petulant-less peace and lack of pain. The air was at once free of smell.
Well. I wonder how long this will last?

Oh, the photo above is by Dez Pain/xymonau at Free Stock Photos: Rgbstock. The photo is what I see in my head when I have a migraine. Sometimes the colors are purple and blue. Please check out the photo site--talent there to be found.
My sister-in-law has migraines. I feel for all who do. And I'm thankful beyond words that they don't afflict me.
ReplyDeleteOh...migraine pain and sickness. My mom suffered so from that. Eventually, she hit menopause and the frequency of migraine dropped off greatly. The hubs sister is the opposite. She was fine UNTIL she hit menopause and then the migraines started. Got to have something to do with hormones yes?
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the words today...I can tell you are speaking from experience.
Thanks for such an interesting group of words. Ephemeral?
DeleteSo am I. Hope you sis-in-law is able to get relief.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I was just thinking this morning on the drive home from the kids' schools that the coffee I'd picked up at a drive-through window smelled so good. Then I instantly remembered how awful that same smell was when I had migraines.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I have the "Illusion" of different smells: skunk, pigpen, chili, , etc. I hate going to a movie and have that illusion.
DeleteMigraines suck, glad I got rid of mine
ReplyDeleteHOW?
DeleteMy migraine visions are painfully hot colours. Reds, yellows with purple accents. And, often, by the time I vomit the worst is over. Just the migraine hangover to endure.
ReplyDeleteThis spoke too clearly to me. I know that you suffer, and hope it gets to be less often.
Sorry that you are part of the Migrainer Club.
DeleteHey, that's really good! Similar description to my migraines which are milder and almost never have the head-over-a-bucket component, but they are almost always brought on by smells. Of the floral and mouldy mulch variety.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the image up top.
It is a great image, isn't it?!
DeleteI used to get them constantly in adolescence, some of most painful things anyone can experience!
ReplyDeleteGlad they no longer are part of your life.
DeleteSo far I have been lucky and not had any
ReplyDeleteYou've painted a very vivid picture with Wednesday Words! Sorry that your pain is so intense.
ReplyDeleteJulie
I get one occasionally. I can't do much until I get rid of it!
ReplyDeleteI love the painting you picked for this post...
