The Other Side (2015)
“James reels in a Green talon. Colin hooks a shrunken Red head. Praxus alights atop a hotel, a necklace of blurred All-Black heads draped around his neck. He opens his mouth and unleashes a hurricane of fire.
I lurch awake in a sweat. The stench of feces hits me. I stumble from my cot, feel my way to the nightstand, and crank the lamp.
Allie’s a mess. Her arms strain against her chains, but otherwise she appears asleep.
I remove her soiled sheets and her soiled scrubs and throw them down the roo...m’s laundry chute. I uncuff her, carry her to the bathroom, clean her off in the shower. I talk as I apply rose-scented shampoo. I glide my finger along her nose to her chin. She opens her eyes, stares ahead blankly.
We return to the bedroom. The dresser contains several pairs of white scrubs and spare sheets. After changing her, I reshackle her to the bed. I work my way around her and fit the sheets into place.
I retrieve a pair of MREs from the closet and prep breakfast. I feed her pastries and wheat bread and applesauce.MoreLess
