He laid in the tub, staring up towards the ceiling. Listening to whispers seemingly coming from the walls, he sighed. Reaching up, removing his mask to submerge himself. He thought to himself underneath the water.

He agreed to his placement in 'house five' for this tub. His friends claimed that it would be the best trade for such a tub. Low constant whispers of sorrow and a tunnel back to his original home he wanted to escape through the basement, but at least he had a jacuzzi tub. It was just a shame it was broken, rendering it a normal tub. At least underneath the water, the voices were near silent.

He rose from the water, drying his face with the towel he had laid aside. Feeling a little hungry, he decided it was best to go search for food. Getting out of the tub, putting his mask back on before getting dried and re-dressed.

Glaring up at the sun when he exited the house. "So bright.." he muttered, repositioning his mask to block the sun better. Strolling down the sidewalk, he watched the faces of the people around him. Some giving him strange looks before quickly looking away while others couldn't help but stare. He didn't pay much mind to these kind. If he wanted, he could be invisible to them. Instead he was looking for those who weren't looking. People who looked towards the ground or into reflective surfaces. The insecure and lonely were what he needed today. Their souls tasted better anyway
