Have you ever had the dream where parts of your body stretch and morph? Like chicken pox gone mad, every lesion swelling out, stretching until it's longer than my hand, a tentacle as thick as my wrist made of soft white skin, hollow, with teeth in the round, inert mouth.

It all felt perfectly normal, until the teeth.

And I was in the old bathroom, the one we tore out in the remodel with its yellow floral walls and peeling lino, and the creeping black mold on the ceiling.
