XU WUTAO
My eyes snapped open and I jerked to a sitting position.
I fell asleep? Fuck.
My room was mostly engulfed in darkness, with little rays of the lights outside my windows providing some illumination.
I scrambled onto my feet, taking a moment for the whiplash that followed to subside. I had no way of telling the time, but from the way silence dwelled, it was clearly deep into
the night.
Shit! Please don't let it be past midnight.
My legs felt sticky, and the rest of my body smelled like piss. In fact, my entire room did. My nose twitched as I made a beeline for the washroom. I shrugged off my hoodie, turning on the shower and jumping under the water.
Fifteen seconds were all I spared myself. I wiped my body with the first thing I grabbed. It wasn't a towel.
The stench still lingered, since I didn't use any soap—or maybe my body had absorbed it— whatever the reason was, it didn't matter.
