The Revenge of One Humiliated
The beast.
My whole body trembles. Tears flow now, warm and salty on my lips. I drop my tray. It crashes to the floor with a sound of breaking dishes lost in the laughter. I turn on my heel and run. I run like a madwoman, shoving people, blinded by tears.
The laughter chases me, echoes in the hallway, clings to my skin like pitch.
"Bravo, whale!"
"She's crying! Look, she's crying!"
"Run, fatso, run!"
