Scorching
Eliana Tessa Castellanos
I went back when the moon was high up in the sky. I dragged my body away from the shore as I made my way towards the back door of the café to enter the house above it.
I headed towards the bathroom still dripping wet. The moment I entered the shower, I stood underneath it, not caring to remove my clothes that was already stuck to my body.
The scorching water washed away the saltwater from the sea. It was the only thing that burned me, so I welcomed the pain. But even that got to a point where I couldn’t feel the pain anymore.
When I felt all the sea wash away from my body, I finally step out the shower. The cool night air flooding in through the open balcony from my bedroom hits my scorching flesh, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. It was not the first time.
