A Dull Day at Work...

I had one of those days where everything feels heavy and pointless. At work, everyone was in their own little worlds, too busy to notice me or care about the mundane tasks I was stuck with. After hours, while most were gone, I found myself alone in an empty supply closet. The familiar sound of my belt hitting my bare skin brought a strange mix of pain and relief... It was just enough to make me feel something, anything, besides this dull ache inside. My body shook with each sharp strike, but it felt good, cathartic even... A way to release all the pent-up frustration and loneliness that had been building up inside me since morning.
