Damaged
“My arms can’t move.
I am in a tunnel, a cave, and it is burning.
I am in a bag.
The fire gets closer.
I am sweating rivers, but it is not enough to stop the heat.
I fight my way out of the blankets that are tangled around me. The air in the cabin is thick even though the windows are opened to their screens. Hunter is not beside me. I open the door but it offers little relief. The air outside is almost as hot, made even worse by a buzzing swarm of mosquitoes.
I stand on t...he porch, swatting the air. My skin is sticky with sweat, chlorine from the pool, traces of Hunter, and the residue of uncertainty of whether or not I did the right thing. I don’t know if the regret I feel is for starting what we did last night or stopping it.
What I need is a shower. Immediately.
There’s an empty vodka bottle tipped over on the ground between the cabin and where the car is parked in the gravel spot next to it.MoreLess
