“No apologies” by Claudiu Popa

Submitted to Contest #278

I walk into the bathroom to an assault on my sense of smell. I don’t need to see it to know but sure enough, the turd is there, floating in the water. I hate the smell of other people’s shit. It’s all bad, sure, but I know the nuances of mine: somehow sharp, cutting. This has a nauseating dullness to it.  “Mabel!” I call to my youngest. “Dear, you forgot to flush the toilet. Can you please come here and do it?” “It wasn’t me.” I hear her high-pitched voice behind me before I even have a chance to turn. Was she following me around again?...
