CHAPTER 53

  The moments when I was alone in the room allowed me to have my solace. It dawned upon me that Lenard Lee was indeed gone. I forced myself to get out of bed and made for the connected bathroom.

  In the cold weather, one didn’t normally need to bathe often, but I perceived myself to be gross and covered with filth after being with my nemesis for such a long while. Once I was inside the bathroom, I bolted the door shut and scanned the space confining me for any hard sponges. Upon finding one, I seized it quickly and brushed myself as hard as I could, creating dark red lines all over my body.

  I turned the coloured knob to spray myself with hot water from the shower. The water was steaming hot, scalding me minorly for a few seconds. I soaped myself quickly and brought the sponge to my bare skin again, scraping myself so abrasively that I flinched.
