Resist!

You feel as if you are walking through sticky honey, fighting, slashing and thrashing. Your eyes flutter, your head is spinning.

Then you slowly open your eyes and gasp.

What did just happen? You breath is ragged, as is you had been running a marathon, your heart is beating loudly in your chest. You are still slumped in your chair, your skirt in disarray, your panties soaked. You gasp in shock, a shameful realisation creeping up your spine.

Did Xiang watch you?

You turn your head around - but the housemaid is nowhere to be seen. The room is empty, your coffee has turned cold. Maybe it was just a dream?

You feel a chill as you hastily pull up your skirt and walk to the sink to wash your hands. Your legs are trembling. Somehow, somewhere, there is a tiny voice in your head, sobbing and wailing about waking up and snapping back into reality. It seemed so easy to let go...

But no, that's foolish thinking. There was something important, something you wanted to remember, but suddenly can't. Also: You have to go to work! You check your watch, gather your things and quickly make for the door.
