Time is Money

Word Count: 140

 

The whore is as dirty as the money that buys her; a filthy wench that feels as slick as the greed that has them writhing on the floor like snakes shedding skin.

 

Not wanting to care, he knows it's his greed, his want, that burns away the hole in his hand, that fills his mind with crude pleasure until it breaks, and he feels the oily shame settle like beads of sweat on his skin.

 

He shoves her from himself, watching her small eyes stare at him in the darkness, and suddenly cold, he reaches for his robes, messy and tangled like the woman's hair. He wraps himself in their folds, shivering, and standing he stumbles across the room, feeling heavy and disoriented, until he finds the clinking bag of coins.

 

He throws them at her feet, and she flees.
