Children of Fire and Clay

*Dear Author,

Small town boy. Big city college. It’s my first year and I never thought he would be my roommate. We started out friends, studying late nights and hanging out. He never made a move. Not until after Christmas.

I loved that first kiss. Sweet, gentle. But days after, something strange happened. I ended up like this. Writhing in these chains, I succumb to his every command.

I only hope he doesn’t realize who (or what) I really am. What happens if I can’t hold back the truth?

*
