Vindication

Last Night

Gade walked into his room more tired then he thought. Natty's stuff was already gone, no surprises there. 'Just as well' he thought, 'maybe now she'll make her own friends in the group'. Having taken off his overalls, he found himself washing some of the blood and grease from his hands. No matter how much he cleaned off though, it all still felt there,

dirty...

disgusting... 

"WHY THE FUCK DO I ALWAYS SURVIVE!" Water bowl flung across the room, tools hurled at the mirror until it shattered. Now laying in the corner, knees to his chest Gade felt tears running along his temple as his head lay lifeless on the floor. "How do I survive? When will it be over? When will I get to rest?...

Asleep now, Gade was left in the corner, among the debris. Silent...

The Next Morning

Waking up with a groan as the sun hit him in the face, Gade brushed some of the strewn glass off his arm. He must have rolled over it in the night. 'Well, time to meet the Spider' he thought, picking himself up, 'let's see if he has anything I can do' and off he went, another day of distractions, another day of living.
