The Skin I Lent My Ungrateful Ex

To save Ethan Vance, I suffered severe third-degree burns over my entire body. I became a monster.

But tonight, I heard him complaining to his friends.

"Three years! I’ve had to look at that hideous face for three whole years! Even if I owed her my life, three years of this mental torture should be enough to pay it back, right?"

"Every time I think of her scarred, bumpy face, I feel nauseous. Why wasn't it me who got disfigured in that fire instead?"

I stood in the shadows, tears streaming down my ruined face as I overheard everything.
