Sick in the campus library prompt
Character A is stuck in the library studying. They knew they were going to be stuck for a while so they brought food before hand and get into a private study room.
They eat and everything is fine at first after but then A’s stomach starts to hurt a little. At first they think maybe it’s just nerves or dehydration so they take a swing of water to settle it. Yet they can’t help but notice how awful it feels going down their throat and hitting their stomach. So A makes a note to hurry up so they can get home and deal with this in private.
Time passes and As stomach only continues to feel worse. To the point where A can’t even focus on their work instead they’re cradling their gurgling stomach. Stuck on the crappy library chair trying to muffle any burps to not disturb anyone.
At this point A knows that something is wrong and that they need to find a bathroom, but the moment they uncurl to get up, their stomach tightens. A they can feel their lunch crawling up their stomach. Whether they like it or not they’re going to vomit now.
The only container around is the plastic bin their food was in so A leans over it and returns the digested food back to its container. First they try to be quiet but it becomes audible as their strength and care drains from them. Once they’re finally done they put the lid back on, pack up their stuff and leave. Avoiding eye contact with anyone as they throw the makeshift puke bucket into the trash and walk back to their dorm.
They make a note to email their teacher for an extension, and to never order from that restaurant again.
(Up to you if it’s actually food poisoning or stomach bug/acid reflux)
