Capítulo 33: Chapter 33: When the Gods are Against You

Shaye

Two days later, I finally felt like I hadn't had my skull nearly caved in, but I was still covered in bruises. And I had a dull ache everywhere.

"You've done fine on the medicine and shouldn't need anymore," the nurse said walking into the small room. There's a pinch to her gray eyes like she's wary of me, and I don't know what to make of that. No one has ever been scared of me. No reason to, but can that be because I never knew what lay inside me? What I was truly capable of? "If you have any dizziness or blurred vision, come see me," she continues.

"I will." I nod, smiling at her. "Thanks."

She turns away and leaves me alone to change into a clean prison uniform she's laid on the bed. On the ledge of a barred window sits a bowl of water and a towel for me to get cleaned up. Never thought I'd be happy to have a prison shower, but that is exactly what I'm going to do when my block has their turn later today.
