I sat in the bathtub, staring at the water. The green liquid has stayed in my skin. It is imprinted inside, like tattoo ink. But no one can see it. It burns and feels like...A bad memory...Or maybe a bad place...Someone bad...Or maybe a nightmare...I don't know, but it reminds me of something. It has the feeling of childhood, innocence, and confusion, but also the feeling of hatred, fear, and...Handprints. I don't know why. All I know is that when I look at the "green places" I can feel handprints where the green liquid is in my skin.

I tried to scrub it off again. I kept trying and trying, I used three different sponges and rags, and yet it stayed on. I wanted it off. I want it off. I kept scrubbing until my skin turned pink, then red, and then I started to bleed. I just watched as the blood flushed over the green marks. I didn't see them anymore, but it hurt. It burned like fire was lit on my arm. But, I liked the green marks not being seen that I didn't care. I couldn't see them anymore and that's all that made me happy. I got up and walked out to my living room and I saw Mariam sitting down, watching Hello Kitty. Her screen expressed a happy kaomoji, and she looked at me. Surprisingly enough, she looked at the blood. And then the green marks. She saw them. She finally saw the marks he made me dirty with. Mariam ran over and looked down. She just kept looking at everything. The Kaomoji on her screen completely disappeared. This happened when she was serious...Something told me she really wasn't messing around here.

It was that bad, huh?
