* PG-13 

After dreaming of a vaguely-handsome, wide-bodied Russian

with slinted eyes and fingers the size of her forearms,

Lily awoke

languidly aroused 
by the cotton sheets.

.

Having otherwise let the bed do her,

she opted instead for a cleansing pee.

The sheets were outraged,

to say nothing of the mattress beneath.
