White Shotgun
““Don’t turn on the light.”
My heart skips. I don’t need light to see that the gorgeous blond hair has been shaved off, and the bare scalp is impacted with dirt. He unfastens the field jacket with trembling fingers. Dried flakes of mud that have been carried who knows how many miles, across how many time zones, scatter over the linen sheets. The smell of recent death is undeniable.
He unfolds a rain poncho, meticulously spreads it on the floor, then empties the contents of the rucksack.
... “What are you doing?”
“Better wash this stuff out,” he says slowly, as if in a dream, taking off his shirt and Under Armour.
“I’ll take care of it.”
Heeding the silent message, Don’t touch me, I slip off the bed and retrieve a robe from the bathroom. He continues to face away, as if he doesn’t want me to see his body. He used to eat breakfast in the nude, not give it a thought.MoreLess
