1 THE BATH HOUSE

I follow the young girl into the bathhouse it seems as if it's only her here, I watch her slowly lower her towel while she dips her feet testing the temperature of the bath water. Her skin was pale, I study the red moon tattoo on the back of her lower waist, Eying her with lust, I snap a few pictures I try to get close-up images however I knock over a blue-painted bucket of water fuck I mumbled under my breath, I hid behind the changing room "excuse me is there anyone there" Meow "aww it's just a kitty how did you get in here little one" I hear her get out of the bath water, I've been watching her for three months now her soft personality makes me intensely in love with her I better get home before someone catches me in the woman's bath house section.

Hi, honey, you're finally home it's already half past 6 where have you been, " oh I just went to get some milk unfortunately the Hennery supermarket closed up early today so I went to kauris one" oh okay that's thoughtful of you the kids are at soccer practice I will go get them you just have a rest the foods heated up for you can eat up. I stare at my wife with disgust her clothes with curry stains, her hair all tied up and her wrinkly skin, ugh her face looks like it is falling off I have atrociously become unattracted to my wife since she has been pregnant with my second child day by day her body disgusts me. "No problem you can get going I'll go shower for a bit"

I get to my car and hide the Hennery supermarket packet my husband thinks I'm some dull-witted woman. I know all about his antics I watched him again that sleazy bastard eyeing the same girl again.

She has made my husband deviant, however, I question why is this exciting me after being married for 35 years of having the perfect life I grew bored of my life however it enrages my limbs that my husband has eyes for another woman.

He has no idea that I follow him everywhere I love him.

Honey, I'm home and I have brought a guest, 'who is it darling?' The mysterious woman stands beside me, my lips curl up at the end as I eye my husband watching his ludicrous reaction to the woman he has been stalking, "This is Ross Berg she's taken over Misses Alberts's apartment since she passed on ". Excuse me Mister why do you seem so familiar to me? "Hmm Honey do you know this woman?" I ask with a grudge against him," no no darling by the way where are the kids," I say as I try to change the subject, I feel the tense energy around me. The kids are having a play date with their friends just for tonight, Please Miss Berg have a seat I'll make some tea for you, honey can you please show Miss Berg around our place."

This has got to be a coincidence right I think to myself as I walk her around our corridors,' Mr. what do you do for a living?'' Ah please call me Nathan I am a doctor however I am on a break for a while actually ' Oh really if you don't mind my mouth has been feeling a bit weird lately do you have any medicine you can prescribe me? 'Oh um sure can I take a look' Sure 'Follow me' I lead her towards my room I feel my palms sweat, indecent ideas wave across my mind focus this is my job, I ask her to open up her mouth and take a look, I feel her breath against my face, it smells like mint cute however I see stains of drugs bits in her mouth 'have you been taking any substances miss's she turns her head to the left looking away from me and nodding ' how old are you miss' I'm 23.

Is everything okay ' Not really ' Do you wanna converse about it ' oh no I don't wanna be a needle in your head it's alright ' I grab her hands 'please' …okay, I actually got kicked out from my moms place, my boss just fired me for sending wrong orders through and I failed my medical internship so now the landlord is my friend's mother however I can't afford it so she is giving me a week to figure it out, the drugs are the only thing keeping me sane right now. That seems like a lot of worries for a young girl like yourself… My heart racing her eyes are consuming me

she puts her hands on either side of my face and my surroundings fall away, I've gotten lost in her lips ....why is she kissing me?, and then the space between us disappears, I taste her after starving for ages of her touch I have kissed my wife before but it did not feel this good, maybe the kissed lasted an hour or minute, what I know is that she smelt like vanilla her soft pale skin brushing against mines the taste of her sweet lips.

'I'm sorry Mrister' she says while I see the panic in her eyes she grabs her blue purse and walks past me "Miss Berg you haven't eaten yet are you already leaving" It's getting late mam I wouldn't wanna intrude on you and your husbands evening ' I look at his wife somethings weird about her I hope she didn't see me, her face looks as if it's decomposing ...oh Mrs. berg it is nothing like that please be our guest…'

The wife forces me to sit down I watch her husband eye me his so handsome..no I shouldn't his married with kids.

she dishes out her chicken soup ' It smells wonderful' i feel her husband's legs touching my inner thighs while his wife goes to get more soup …my body starts to heat up as well as guilt rises in me however he seems not to care ' why are you blushing miss ross'' he asks with a smirk 'ahem no nothing Mr.

After eating my stomach starts to cramp I began to choke....strands of my hair were in my soup... I feel nauseous as I pull out strings of stranded black soggy hair ... I cough up blood "oh my you're bleeding, I'm so sorry darling I forgot to have my hair tied up I noticed my husband doesn't like my hair in a bun all the time' says the wife , I look at her grinning , she had a pair of scissors in her hand and hid it behind her back when i noticed ...

'hey just look at me and breath what is wrong with you ' said her husband in a matter of seconds he began to also cough up blood.

'you're burning up honey I'm sorry it was a mistake .'

He finds peace of flesh in his mouth but he was unable to chew it well he looks at his wife in fear, her eyes were wide open, as well as her smile was atrociously disgusting, his wife kept pressing against her face...Her skin looked as if it was falling off

...

"oh dear Misses Alberts's skin is getting old..." His wife uttered

I watch both their bodies drop to the ground and I maniacally START Laughing UNCONTROLLABLY.

"you drugged us??" my husband screams

I awaken to see Ross Berg next to me, she's still asleep, it seems to be that we were in the bathhouse I occasionally visit, how did we get here ...

Ahhh the migraine starts to thirst over me I can't think straight my visions are all blurry, Miss Berg gets up I nudge her however she doesn't react I turn her over to face me...WHAT she has no face I feel a sense of disquietude, of alienation even, I run on slippery floors towards the door ''NO ...this can't be it's locked from the outside" ...

'Hah, what was that sound' Grating, moan-like grunting sound occurs from behind me. I slowly turn around to see my wife standing over Miss Berg

'Honey come here

No....No you are not my wife

'When you say such things I get very sad honey'

She suddenly takes the skin off her face ' you belong to me

I run away from this nightmare screaming for help as I pull against the chained-up doors 'HELP ME' I scream as I see a torch light reflect from the outside....suddenly the lights go off

'you've always said that I look like an ugly hag remember, I tried everything new makeup, wigs, even miss Alberts's skin I remember you complimenting her looks once on our anniversary that night you would not even kiss me, I even aborted our third child it's funny you never knew that we were to have another kid remember how you would say that my body looks saggy after our second kid ...'

I gasp and feel her breathing against my neck I feel the candle flames touch my neck that she holds in her hand.

I turn towards the whispers, I see her eerie smile she looks at me and blows the candle of

'Poof'
