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 only feet away from me. He's watching me. I peaked through the curtain earlier. I wish I hadn't.

It had grey skin, only a few patches of long thin hair on his head. He had nails that could have been at least a foot long. But...... there was blood on those nails. Pieces of my husband's flesh and hair. Every once and a while he will make a creaky chuckle to announce his presence.

I don't want to get out but the water keeps getting hotter and hotter. I'm starting to blister. I stand here with the boiling water hitting my back, and I wonder, "How much longer can I take this?"
