The beautiful red droplets fell from her arm and hit the tile beneath her like rain drops. The searing pain was welcome as she stared in fascination at the bloody pocket knife in her hand.
Pansy was tortured by thoughts that would never go away. They kept her up at night as they raced through her head.

The scars on her arms and legs were constant reminders of her problem; her solution. It was her illness and her treatment. It was her beautiful, bloody, dirty little secret.
