Cold Showers
_My prompt was to write about a character enjoying something I do not._
I used to like hot showers
After a l o n g

I used to turn the faucet up
Till my pale skin went

and telling me

the
faucet
down
And suddenly
I could

I'd felt so smothered
only now do I feel
I am truly
washing
my worries
