Rose tapped it, and the door opened quietly, revealing the dark interior of a tiny living space. She kicked her shoes off, telling herself that tomorrow would be a return to the norm. Her uniform didn’t make it to the laundry hamper; discarded hastily on the floor as she made her way to the bathroom. To catch her, legs shaking, eyes rolled back, as she came. She knew that any noise could make the man look back at her. The woman shivered and passed out in Rose’s arms, but Rose could only continue. The dim sign on the wall beside her confirmed that she was in the right place. “Ummm…”, Rose let out, trying her best to keep her voice even. She turned from the grey hallway into another grey hallway, stopping to reconsider. She took a step forward, and pressed her bare hips directly against the woman’s. There really wasn’t anything it couldn’t do. She shivered as it coiled around her ear, but didn’t fight it. Peeking in, Rose squinted against the heavy steam.
