Get out of those coveralls. The stains might never come out, but at least it won't smell quite as bad. Keeping your wound closed with duct tape was deeply attractive, but inadvisable. You're pushing yourself harder. Trying to keep up with the dolls? Know your limits, or you'll fall apart at the seams.

You can't dress the wound as you are. Keep the tape on. Get in the shower. Proof of your efforts cling to your body. Oil. Grease. Steel. Blood. Scrub yourself raw. Watch the tape. You don't want the adhesive weakening until the end.

Dry off. Open the first aid kit. Peel the tape off slowly. ...A little slower. Slower. Fuck, you're good to me. ...Wait, is that it? Oh, that's practically nothing. Back in the shower. Rinse it out. Rinse it off. Clean the edges.
