Zoee: Reality 7

He turns around and heads back towards his old room. Standing there confused, I take the candle and the towel with me and return to the master bathroom. I rest the candle down by the sink and lay the towel at the base of the tub to step on when I get out of the shower. I step in the tub and stare up at the two rings above me. They don't appear to be pipes to spray down water but they are quite thick.
I turn the center knob upwards to make the water flow to the shower spout above me and wrap the shower curtain around the tub. Turning the hot water knob, I hope that the water will somehow be warm when it comes out. As soon as the chill of the water hits me, I stop breathing for a moment. I knew it would be cold but had no idea how cold it would really be. After a few moments, my body becomes used to the chill of the water hitting my body but I still remain covered in goose bumps. I grab a nearby bar of soap and lather it in my hands to clean my body. I clean myself off as quickly as possible and shut the freezing water off.  I step out of the tub and dry of my feet and lower legs before picking the towel up to wrap the rest of my body.  I walk out of the bathroom and walk out to findCody. I head back towards his old bedroom and knock on the closed door.  Cody walks out and cocks his head at me wrapped in a towel, my red curls weighed down by the water that is resting in them.
"Do you have extra clothes that I could wear?"
"We really didn't think this whole thing through of you staying the night," Cody chuckles as he walks back into his room, suitcases open all over the floor.
I feel a pang of sadness as I look around at the empty walls.  They used to have posters, his train bed sitting in the middle of the back wall with toys all over the floor. Cody hands me a pair of sleep pants and a wife beater. I smile and take them into his old bathroom and change into his clothes and wrap my hair in the towel.  The mirror that used to be in here is missing as well so I can't check if my nipples are bleeding through the white top or not. I leave from the bathroom and go back into Cody's bedroom. I sit down on his floor as he fidgets through his suitcase.
"So seriously," I pry. "What are those rings about in the master bathroom?"
Cody's head bends his head in to his chest and sighs deeply. "It's for hanging someone up."
"You do what?"
"You have someone wrapped up in ropes around the body and a rope connects to them to the rings to hang them above." Cody explains as he turns around to face me.
"You HANG people in there?" my jaw hangs in absolute shock. "Why would you do that?"
"I'm not the one that installed those there!" Cody's voice rises defensively. "It's not as creepy as you think; it's more of a sexual thing."
"Like people that choke themselves?"
"No! No, no. Not like that. I really don't know how to explain it I guess without it sounding weird."
I sit and try to imagine how exactly it would work but I cannot seem to wrap my head around the idea. I have tried a various amount of sexual activities with previous lovers and have seen my fair share of pornography but I cannot recall anything with people hanging in a bathroom. Cody sits on the floor next to me and wraps his arm around me to pull me close to him.
"Please don't be freaked out," he whispers.
"I'm not; I'm just confused about it and trying to figure it out."
"So, what do you want to do for the rest of today?"
"I honestly have no clue. It's not like we can pretend to be teenage mutant ninja turtles anymore."
