In my bathroom the fan creates suction in the cupboards under the sink. I can tell because when I put my fingers on them I can feel the air blowing out. I take photos of myself in the mirror sometimes after sex to remember it. What underwear I was wearing. When my nails looked like they had braces shred into them. When the skin beneath my breasts, where the wire hits, was the softest part.

Cecilia Stelzer studies creative writing at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She has been published in Word Riot, Monkeybicycle, and Metazen.
