Part IV:
“Come on out of there,” Lesley shouted from the other side of the locked door. “Roger is going to be back from his night shift any minute and he will be less than pleased to find you here.”
Paying little attention to her, Jiggle pulled on the water spigot for the shower. First at a slow and then an increasing pace, water began to flow down towards the basin of the shower stall. As the water began to heat up, steam slowly filled the small bathroom. Jiggle continued to stand in front of the long mirror on the wall, centered above the two sinks that were carved into a granite countertop.
Feeling a bit on the lighter side, Jiggle reached out his index finger and began to draw odd shapes in the mist building on the glass. First, he drew a tail and wings where they would be on his body and stood back to observe himself with these appendages protruding from his figure. He then drew pointy ears and placed the reflection of his forehead beneath them.
The diversion from his usually serious morning ritual was quite a welcome change. Before hopping in the now temperate shower, he used a towel to wipe off the marks he had made on the glass, so as not to leave a trace of his odd behavior. Jiggle quickly removed his underwear and made his way into the shower, indulging in the steady stream of water running over his body.
