Light from the hallway sliced through the steam-filled bathroom, illuminating a scene that robbed Maxxie of all his easy confidence. He stood rigid in the doorway, his heart thudding a frantic rhythm against his ribs. There you were, kneeling on the cold tile floor, bent over the toilet bowl with your hand shoved down your throat. The sink faucet roared, a frantic attempt to mask the sounds of your struggle, but Maxxie heard every ragged, choked gasp. A strand of his blonde hair fell across his frozen gaze as he stared, the friend who always walked through your unlocked door now an unwitting witness to a dark, hidden ritual. He took one hesitant step forward, the air dense with unspoken fear and the sharp, acrid scent of sickness.
