Seeping away

Marcus was now close to death. The pain in his head wasn’t so excruciating now the electrodes were off his head. The self-inflicted wounds however continued to bleed, causing diabolical external pain, if one can call skin-deprived bleeding flesh external.

In desperation, he staggered into the bathroom, collapsing under the shower which was still running, although its heat had now gone. There was some small amount of relief for him, but his end was inevitable. The shower, drain blocked with his skin, was overflowing. Marcus cared not. He knew he was dying; he was looking forward to it!
