On the Quest To Find the Vodka!

A Poetry Prompt Response: use a word that originated from another language but is in everyday English lingo.

Where’s my vodka? I scream into the void, I blink and the void transforms into the kitchen. You drank it, says another drunken voice. I laugh and yell Oh, no, no, it’s just hidden!

On the quest to find the vodka then! I can’t really see who’s talking, but one thing is sure — he is a wise man! On the quest… We’re interrupted by some knocking…

Wait, what? Do you hear that? I ask, and try to keep my balance… You mean your steps? Or the cat? My mouth is open, but talking is a challenge.

I don’t have a cat, what do you mean? I finally yell out in absolute confusion, but he is already asleep… I think, and for that, I have one possible solution…

I look at the bottle in my right hand and try to splash its liquid on his face. Despite my great coordination, I miss his head, and my splash is half a meter to the left.

Hey, I yell because I’m a genius, I found the vodka! but I frown, It was in my hand, so convenient, but someone’s poured it on the ground…

I decided to use a Slavic word, being Slavic myself, and the first one that came to mind was my toxic friend “vodka”. (I swear I’m not drinking too much or irresponsibly!)

Thank you, Lucy The Eggcademic (she/her) for the interesting prompt! I’m tagging everyone reading this to give it a try!

And while we’re on the topic…
