Confessions of a Thief

I hurried up the steps and into the safety of my home. Mr. Troy had waited up for me and he rushed, bleary-eyed from the lounge, took my hat, cane, and coat, and asked: “I shall assist you to ready for bed, sir.”

My affliction was fervent tonight and the taste of Wormwood and Anise kept coming up in waves to foul my tongue. I felt so distressed and repellant in my own skin that I did not even want Troy to touch my garments, let alone my flesh while helping me undress.

“No, no. I shall tend to myself.” My voice was gruff and raspy. I did not recognize the roughness in it.

I was grubby to my very soul by the remembrance of those men making a debauched mockery of an act I believed sacred—an act that should be shared only with a beloved. I was sullied, inside and out and I needed a scalding bath to scrub the filth away.
