Mouth Open Story Fell Out: Cynical Rants Of A Singleton

By Shem Douglas

Running on nothing but a busted heart, a potty mouth and the blinking cursor on a screen, Shem uses her latest breakup and a laptop as free therapy.

After unexpectedly being inducted into the hall of singledom by her closeted girlfriend (the girl she probably should never have fallen for) and urged by a friend to stop crying and start writing, Shem takes to penning the do’s and don’ts of trying to move on from an ex but still failing miserably. This short non-fiction narrative presents a collection of rambling romantic faux pas backed up with zero scientific research, just outlandish statements!

“Recently I read a quote by American musician Frank Ocean, which said: ‘If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously, punch them in the face, and go get ice cream.’ I instantly fell in love with this, as it captured exactly how I felt after the self-pity and dramatic wailing had subsided.”

Packed with hilariously tragic pearls of wisdom and self-inflicted drama, this short compilation of writing is an insight into the life of a single girl and the brain burps of all things love related. Mouth Open Story Fell Out: Cynical Rants of a Singleton simply offers a little heads up when trying to navigate the minefield that is the single life.
