The Mates of Monsters
I wait awkwardly and stare down at the mat.
For each response he teaches me, David acts out a scenario, him being the bad guy and me being myself. He'll grab my hands, arms, neck, legs—all with an unrealistic gentleness. Each time we start a new scenario and I am once again stuck, I think about him suddenly grabbing harder and never letting go. He'll bring his arm around my throat and squeeze and throw me to the ground. He'll pin me and smile because no matter how hard I push, I won't be able to get him off. I wait for him to switch into this sadistic character I've painted in my head, no longer paying attention to the instructions I'm supposed to be following to release myself.
