FlashNano 2021: Day 1

Day 1: A story that takes place in the dark. “Blind Speed Dating.”
What I remember from that night is groping to find my way to an assigned table, guided only by a rope, spilling wine on my hand as I attempt to bring the rim of a glass to my lips, a tapa being inserted into my mouth by a stranger. With each new “date,” there is an unfamiliar male voice saying “Hello.” I parrot back: “Hello.” Getting to know faces is encouraged through physical touch. Fingers travel up my arms and onto my cheeks, eyes, hair. One set of fingers lingers on my shoulder and travels down to my breasts. When it comes time for fumble fingers to feed me a tapa, I bite down hard. Later, I wake up in an alley, my head throbbing, my purse having been raped of my wallet, phone, and keys.
