-- Note from author (me)
This is teetering into a non-consensual topic, it almost sounds like it's about rape. I suppose it can be open to interpretation, and if that's what it means for you I'm sorry that happened, and it is your own right to interpret it that way. For me, it was about non-consensual or blurred-lines-"consensual" surgery as a minor.
-- end note from author
adam wakes up, probes his side. rib gone, wound sticky. god's fingers have touched a place that will never be touched again.
"why did you do this to me? did i ask?"
"i asked you if you wanted to"
"i don't remember answering."
"it's not for you to decide"
"then why did you even ask me"
"i don't know"
"i never said no or yes. that doesn't mean yes"
"you would've anyway"
"maybe."
adam put his hand over his wound. it ached. his mind ached too.
"i'll never be the same"
adam said this with multiple meanings.
