WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a story where the protagonist begins to lose their sense of taste.

This is a real condition called ageusia. Try to imagine creatively how someone with this condition would feel whilst eating food.

Taste

My words fall out of my mouth.

They fall into the boiling soup bowl

beneath my chin.


Taste

teh-ay-st

I lift the wobbling spoon.


My tongue dies

as the little bumps on it

pop, pop, pop.
