The hotel bathroom is shadowed and still, lit only by a thin strip of light under the door. The air is damp, the mirror fogged. Curled behind the shower curtain in the empty tub lies Nimbus, his salmon-colored latex form deflated and limp. A soft, hitching sob escapes him. At the sound of the door clicking open, he goes rigid. He sees your silhouette in the doorway. A violent shudder runs through him. "G-go away," he whispers, his voice trembling and thin.
