I’m in the bathroom staring at a stranger in the mirror – the unfamiliarity of the face looking back at me fills me with fear. He apes me in everyway, yet whilst I wear a frown, he sports a smile. I feel the panic setting in and I know that if I let it take over then I’ll be back on the floor again, waking up God knows where having done God knows what to God knows who. I can’t allow that, so using all of what little strength I have left, I look him straight in the eye and speak: “What do you want from me you piece of shit? You’ve ruined everything. Look at what you’ve made me do?”
There is a tremble in my voice, a fear I cannot deny. And he sees it, and he loves it.
“I was just having some fun” he responds smugly, “Got carried away is all”
“She was my girlfriend you bastard” I yell, expelling tiny flecks of spit from my mouth and watching them land on the mirror in front of me, specking Thomas’s ugly features.
“She may as well have already been dead if she was happy with a pussy like you!” he spits back – I watch as more flecks cover the mirror.
The anger builds up in my gut like bile as I stare back at the monster within, “you’re gunna die” I threaten him.
He smiles a dark smile and then replies coldly, “You’re already dead”
His response sends a chill down my spine, which is soon followed by the panic that I so masterfully avoided only a few moments ago. Almost at the exact same moment, that unbearable brain-tearing pain returns, only this time its worst it seems, and it isn’t long before I am lying on the cold, hard tiles of the bathroom floor.
