The following text is for questions number 18-20

‘In Country’ (Rabih Alameddine, Zoetrope)
I descended the stairs to the living room and master bedroom. I had a strong urge to touch
everything, my hands sweeping over marble, mahogany, satin, and velvet. In the bedroom, I rubbed the
wallpaper, my hand grazing the soft fabric in wide sweeps. I sat on the bed, caressed the pillow, lay my
head down. I usually loved smelling the scents of my parents on their bed, but something here was
peculiar. I smelled foreign cologne. I stood back up, looked around, and saw one of my father’s watches.
It was his room all right.

I ran up the winding stairs, grabbed a washcloth from the bathroom, dropped my jeans, jumped
onto my bed, and humped the soft fabric of the bedcover. Soft, rich, lush, it did not take long. I barely
managed to cover my body with the washcloth.
