The hallway was pitch black, meaning I had nothing to look at to distract my busy mind from what I was here to do. Shame and doubt were gripping my stomach as I finally found the door I was instructed towards. Taking a deep breath calmed my nerves for long enough to push the handle down and swing the door open.
Harsh fluorescent light burned my eyes as I quickly slipped inside the door. I knew no one could possibly see me here, that was part of the deal, but I still slammed the door shut behind me as fast as I could. The room looked clean, almost pristine at first glance, Well maintained. It would have to be, given the reputation that this establishment had garnered in the last few months since it had opened, that's why I came here in the first place. This dry spell was killing me. I'm lonely, desperate, and I just... need something more than I can get on my own. There was a chair in the middle of the room, nothing fancy just a small plastic chair facing the wall. It seemed I was still alone for the moment, so I took the opportunity to sit in the chair and rest my legs for a moment while I waited.
Time ticked by, or at least I believe it did. I couldn't bring myself to check my phone or anything of the sort, content sitting still, back straight and knees held together neatly. Given the circumstances, I almost felt I was sitting sarcastically polite. But nevertheless, my needless thoughts on sitting manners were interrupted. as a quiet shuffling noise from the other side of the wall I was staring at brought me back to reality. This is what I came here for.
