A brief extract from my novel... don't want to give anything a way, but at the same time, I hope it leaves you wanting to know more! The water is just slightly too hot to be comfortable, but it reminds me that I am alive, and lucky to be so. The slight sting of the water as it turns my skin pink is strangely comforting. If I close my eyes long enough, and and let the water block out the background hum of the generators, I am transported back to my previous life. The one where I took my happiness and wellbeing for granted, where I didn't appreciate those insignificant but special moments. That shine in your eyes, the smell of a home cooked meal, the sound of the wind. The shower shudders to a stop. I let the cold air drift in around me, just for a moment. My head now clearing after I had woken up with a groggy heavy feeling, my vision still blurred with sleep. I dress, my clothes clinging to my damp skin, and pull my short hair back off my face. To be continued... Jeni Bee
