Facade
Now Elijah in the name of fear.
Not wanting to see myself anymore, I turned away from the mirror and began undressing. My own reflection has started causing my anxiety.
Opening the shower head, I stepped into the water. My eyes shut in bliss, a contained sigh escapes my dry lips. The lukewarm spray hit my body, helping ease my sore body.

Six days had passed. My ribs were still sore but no longer painful as before. The bruises looked better but it would take a few more days, if not a week, for discoloration to fade away fully and attain my normal skin color.
