Eden’s Point of View The walk of shame… I have seen a lot about it on online forums (most people say it jokingly, others do it referentially), people discussed about in different genres and forms, but I haven’t really settled down to think about what it truly means. For me, I thought it was walking down the street after a very embarrassing event (usually sexually), and people pointing at you and the laughing at you.

My chest squeezed so painfully it felt like a vice was crushing my ribs. My hands shook violently as I clasped them together, my knees threatening to buckle beneath me. The shame burned through my entire body, making my skin feel too tight, too hot. But I didn’t care about the insults. I’d still beg. I had to. “Please,” I choked out, my voice cracking and breaking apart. “I’m begging you. She’s all I have left. Please help me.”
