The Sadness Bubble
(Anna)
I’m back in the cage, it smells like I remember it, like death, S*x and sweat have forever stained the
walls around me. The women in the other cages are all silent. It was never silent here. I listen hard for
the noise of S*x and chatter above me. There is nothing. I notice a tall figure standing in the dark just
out of reach of my cage. I sniff but I can’t smell anything. I try to shout out but only silence leaves my
mouth.
“Little wolf, little wolf, let me in.” a voice sounds from the figure before me. As my eyes adjust, I can sort
of make out that it’s a male. I still can’t make a sound.
“I’ll pry, I’ll pull, and I’ll stretch your legs around me” I don’t like this person, whoever they are they’re
not friendly to me. I look around and the women have all disappeared. I’m no longer in my cage, I’m
spread eagle on a bed, tied down by ropes that are cutting into my skin. I’m surrounded by silky red
satin. I know this room: I fell asleep in this room. Blood runs down my arms as the rope cuts into my
wrists,
“Little wolf, little wolf. Let. Me. In,” I turn to the voice and before me stands Fraction. Except it’s not, his
hair is a mess, his beard is gone, no more are the chiselled abs I’ve come to enjoy looking at, in their
place is a beer belly. His once adoring green eyes are yellow and filled with rage. “Let. Me. In.” With
each word he gets closer and closer.
I volt out of the bed covered in sweat, Fraction’s shirt is sticking to me. My hair is soaked. I can’t catch
my breath.
“Anna, what happened?” Fraction is up and in front of me in no time at

all. I back away from his confused look, he holds his hands up in a display that tells me he means no
harm. I dash for the ensuite bathroom and lock the door behind me. “Anna, open the door!” Fraction is
pounding on the bathroom door. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I just need…I just need a minute.” I call to him.
I strip and step into the shower, turning it on. I let the cold water punish my skin. Goddess. that was a
bad one. It’s been one week since I woke up in Fraction’s bed. Each night he has fallen asleep in the
chair next to the bed and each night I have awoken covered in sweat and panicked from a nightmare.
Sometimes it’s my father, other times it’s John, this is the first time it’s been Fraction though. I sit on the
floor of the shower and sob. I’m scared all the time, even when I’m
alone I fear I’m not..
