"My shower took forever but didn't last nearly long enough. The stream of water washed away the sleepiness, though it couldn't wash away the nightmare that I was living. I was comfortable as the water trickled down my body. The touch of the water soothed and secured me, like I was back in my mother's womb. Part of me wished that he would just disappear—maybe indefinitely." — Michelle Dim-St. Pierre, Pinnacle Lust
