Post Lunch Mind-Worms

After lunch they would invade.

They have been here since the dawn of the afternoon shift.

Not always did people work after lunch.

The Spanish in their old fashioned wisdom would ask their towns rested and not give-in to the temptation of drowsy labour.

So who were they these invaders? They did not ask for much. Only to possess our minds with dreams and imaginings every afternoon. Every two weeks they would eat up a day. For everyday they would occupy or rather preoccupy us for at least 2 hours.

What do they do to us?

They fill us up with thoughts of giving up from the hard work of life; it’s a wonder we’re still alive.

If you can call this living.

That’s what they keep telling us… and we are succeptible to them right after an afternoon meal.

They keep trying to undo us… and only the Spanish knew how to keep these invisible foes at bay.
