Chapter One - Renr

Wretch.

I tiptoed to the bathroom to clean myself. I had to pee, as well, and I discovered my period had started. That’s early, I thought as I rummaged for a tampon.

Standing up from the toilet I moved to the sink to wash my hands. I stared at myself in the mirror, naked, in the dim light of this man’s dirty bathroom. Smelling the stale grease that had soaked through my uniform to my skin, I ran a hand through my tousled brunette hair. A striking accent to my greenish eyes, my dark purple eyeliner was now smeared. It betrayed my usually bright eyes. This twenty-something, previously vivacious and filled with promise, now stared back at me in the mirror - this couldn’t be me. I didn’t know who she was, but looking at her I felt utterly betrayed. I touched the reflected image, unable to identify her.
