I awoke on my back out of a nightmare above me the shadow of a man putting his shoes on my body dense jaded stiff I felt trapped paralyzed heard the door click shut began to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours blinking back salt I saw them a thin pair of black rimmed glasses to me a beacon of hope I rushed to stand spilling cold water on my feet electricity staring through the peephole (into the grey foggy morning) I waited then finally he emerged shivering the moment came went so I slithered back to bed for some time I lay there unmoving like a fallen mannequin but then once again the door smacked shut
