This Moth StorySLAM story had the prompt, "Delusions," where the storytellers told stories about delusional thinking in whatever way they saw fit. Here, I tell a story about a medication that had a very unexpected side effect.
The Moth StorySLAM storytelling events are live contests for storytellers where each storyteller is given five minutes to tell a true story without notes. Ten stories are told at each StorySLAM event, and one winner is chosen from the stories told. StorySLAM winners then go on to the Moth GrandSLAM events, where they compete with other storytellers who have won their events.
