I could hear the water beginning to puddle behind me. My foot tapped against the tile beneath me, the edge of my trouser leg softening the sound. Irritable; that's the only way I could describe myself.
"Fuck..." I said aloud. I didn't know what else I could say to myself. All that came to mind was that: "Fuck".
In a way, it's ironic. Actually it's the most ironic life could have been.
My life had constantly revolved around that one word in all it's meanings. It's because of who I wanted to fuck I couldn't have the life I wanted.
It's because of who I wanted to fuck I was seen as a minority.
It's because I was good at fucking that I could afford this place.
My entire life was about fucking.
That's it.
I had no more meat to my story other than that. I'm just a lonely twenty-something who was good at giving guys what they wanted.
And my last word would be "fuck".
Ironic.
Utterly, truly, pathetic irony. Which - somehow - let my lips spread into a smile.
If only for a moment.
