Perspiration beaded on her forehead.  She felt the sting of it in her eyes.  She wished she could rub them.  They were itching like the dickens.  She could just scream.  Her arms and legs were bound to the chair.  Was she sorry?  No, damn it!  The woman had it coming.

The clock was ticking.  Her heart pounded, the heat rushing up her face into her head.  She squeezed her eyes shut.  She heard the switch click.  Warm liquid ran down her legs.  Oh no!  She was falling.  Her eyes flew opened.  Dazed, she looked around.  She was in her bathtub!

  1. Leaves me wondering who the unfortunate woman who ‘had it coming’ might have been. Maybe the dreaming lady will get some ideas from her bathtub dream. Very engaging story.

  2. I wasn’t sure what was happening either, Lily, but it was terrifying. I was relieved she was just dreaming in the bathtub. Although, that could be dangerous also. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

    • I’ve fell asleep in the tub a few times and it is terrifying waking up not knowing where I was at first. I try not to dawdle and get too comfortable now.
