 THE SHEETS

   There was blood on the sheets.

   It was the first thought through my mind after waking up.  I had
probably even been thinking it while I was asleep.  It must have been one
of those subconscious things.  I saw it while I was awake, but didn't
really see it.

   Oh God, there was blood on the sheets.

   How could I have been so stupid?  I had been drinking.  We both had. 
But surely I would have noticed, wouldn't I?

   Maybe it wasn't really there.  Maybe my mind made it up as penance for
last night.  Maybe...

   All it would take would be a quick glance down.  Just open the eyes and
look.  LOOK dammit!

   Surely it wasn't that bad.  Okay, so I remember things getting a bit
rough.  And hot.  I do remember the heat.  Smooth skin sliding against
rough.

   Things are so confused.  I remember hot kisses, long licks on salty
skin, and nails pressing into flesh.  Then a scream.  A high C on the
musical scale that seemed to echo before choking off abruptly.

   I know it was wrong.  I know it.  So why does my body still feel so
good? Why is my nervous system still jumping like hot grease?  Mama always
said sex was only for after marriage.  So why am I not ashamed of giving up
my virginity?  Why do I want to do it again?

   And who did I do it with?
