Hot Water

I've been in the shower for hours now, and I have yet to run out of hot water.
I can't leave. Something sits on the toilet seat a few feet away from me.
It's watching me. 
I peeked through the shower curtain earlier just to get a glimpse of it...
I wish I hadn't.....

It had grey skin, only a few patches of long, thin hair on his head. It had nails that would've been at least half a meter long. But there was blood on those nails and bits of my daughter's flesh was still stuck on it.
Every once in a while it would make a creaky chuckle, a clearing of its throat, letting me know it was still there, watching me.

I don't want to get out.
The water keeps getting hotter and hotter, burning my skin. I'm starting to blister.
The boiling water hitting my back.
I wonder how long I can take this.
