To Love A Monster
Before vanishing, leaving me not in that room but standing in the middle of the flames as my childhood home burns down around me and he walks away, stealthy in the dark.
I wake, gasping for breath. My eyelids fly open, and I stare up at the ceiling. My mouth feels like it's stuffed with cotton. Nausea coils up my insides, and rolling onto my side takes every ounce of energy, my limbs leaden. I try to sit up but can't.
I blink at the unfamiliar room not sure where I am or how I got here. Snow is a blur falling outside the window. We're in a high-rise, and it's nighttime.
