"Brigitte Snaps"

28. Full Recovery

Brigitte loves the bare idea of a nice bath, and she'd even settle for a shower now that the fever's gone.

Brigitte looks at the body mirror. Her face is paler than usual, but that's okay. Her hair is still the same mess. Still no breasts, hips or other requirements. Her body is covered in bruises, some big, some small, some uglier than necessary and all marks of a hostile environment.

Full recovery, she notes, is a fucking joke, because you never fully recover, your wounds become scars is all.
