Disorientated means spinning spiral you feel your life out of control. Disorientated sounds like weeping late nights when you know you can't fix what was messed up. Disorientated feels like an elephant sitting on your chest when you are doing everything to escape and improve. Disorientated smells like burnt popcorn when you are trying to host a party. Disorientated taste like sour milk with a side of rotten eggs when you wanted a savory breakfast of an omelet and fried potatoes. Disorientation is the spiders web in a forest tree, and when you are disorientated you are the fly it catches.

So very powerful. All the analogies you have used to express a disoriented state are very apt. "Disorientation is the spiders web in a forest tree, and when you are disorientated you are the fly it catches. " Very powerful image, dear Miranda!

Oh wow. The last part was a zinger I see you liked the same word as I did. Good job with it.

Your understanding of what it means to be disoriented is quite varied and really pertinent. Really impressive work.

Thank you and I am glad you found it pertinent. The varied part is because I decided to put it all to the senses literally all 5 senses.

At this very moment watching Moby Dick. The man falls over board and is never seen again. Funny I should be reading this.
