I Wish This Was My Past, and I Wish I Had It On Film
Last Saturday I got back to my room drunk, tired, and depressed, having come home alone once again, continuing a streak yet unbroken in this, my sophomore year. My eyes fuzzy and aching from within, I didn’t even bother to turn on the lights. I didn’t want to see my rumpled dress and disheveled hair glaring back at me insultingly from the mirror over my dresser. I shed my clothes lugubriously, feeling my stockings tug as I rolled them down my legs in desperate need of shaving.
Suddenly, I heard what sounded like breathing behind me. I bolted up, my heart thundering in my chest, and strained my eyes through the oppressive darkness. Only then, thanks to the stupor hanging over me, did I see the body of a naked man sprawled sensually on top of my comforter. I opened my mouth to scream, but a sharp, modern yet postmodern voice reached me before my vocal chords could tear the air. “Don’t, Alison. I won’t hurt you.”
Against all my instincts and my good upbringing, I stayed silent. I looked more closely at the shape on my bed, my eyes finally adjusting to the darkness, and began to recognize the outline staring up, vulnerably, at me: the pointed shoulders, the strong nose, the piercing eyes reflecting what little light emanated from my bedside alarm-clock. He spread his arms, tossing away a dog-eared copy of Madame Bovary, inviting me wordlessly towards him, and a magnetic force more powerful than any made of metal or electricity pulled me forward. He tugged at the strap of my slip. “Freudian?” he said, but I put a finger to his pursed smile. It was then that I knew I was safe, and a feeling of home and security swept over me. In his arms all my troubles melted away, and after a lengthy and passionate night of lovemaking, I slept deeply for the first time since the fire.
