Adventures on The Planet “Glutenia”

Gluten-Free Fiction Date 001; Hour 01

  I was just out of my doctor’s office.  It seemed soooooo long ago, yet it was probably only a few moments to someone anywhere else.  But I had arrived.  Per my recent diagnosis, when leaving her office, I exited her doorway onto the Planet Glutenia!  This is what I saw.

Glutenia At First Glance (c.2009, WTB)

  I wondered if I could breath… and I could.  I was afraid to take those first steps.  But I did.

  My doc had said something about “Celiac Disease”…??? 

  I wondered, “Am I a Celiac?”  “What the heck is a Celiac?”

  “Will I find more Celiacs here?”

  I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, praying to have nice dreams…  Perhaps I can wake up some day on a different planet that the one I just walked onto.  Or even better — maybe I will learn to adjust and possibly I can learn to thrive as a free person…. a Gluten-Free person… on Glutenia.

  More later…  I hope.
