“I open my eyes and I hiss and pull the covers back over my head. The sunlight is burning my retinas, and the heat feels horrendous against my skin. My throat feels dry and I could really do with something to drink. My eyes begin to sting under the covers, and I jolt out of bed when I hear my uncle climbing the stairs. I fly over to my mirror and take in my reflection. My eyes are burning red and my lips are white. I close my eyes and I take slow sharp breaths. I sigh when I overcome my desire, ...and I run over to the door. I pull it open and my uncle is standing in the doorjamb. He is holding a cup of coffee in one hand, and a plate of pancakes in the other. I smile at him as he hands me my breakfast. “I thought you might be hungry, Bugs.” “Yeah, I’m starving.” I say as I glug down the coffee. The heat warms my throat, and I can feel the caffeine pulse through me. My uncle is smiling at me, and I can hear his heart start to race. I pull the cup away from my mouth and I focus on him.MoreLessRead More Read Less
