There is a new presence in my room. Tall, slender, smooth skin waiting to be touched on the bed… or the chair, or the floor—who cares about places when the remedy for madness has come home with me this morning. I can’t believe I waited so long to bring happiness back into my life, to break the deadly silence that was already eating my heart away ever so slowly.
Unfortunately, my new companion cannot rub my cold feet in the night or interrupt an absorbing solitary activity with a kiss. I’ll have to wait a long, long, long time to meet the one who’s in charge of that.
