Days turned into a monotonous routine, and being stuck in the same place for so long made me restless. Alcohol became the only way to pass the time, but it wasn't enough to fill the growing emptiness inside. Finally, I decided to try a dating app to find someone for sex. After chatting with a few people, I found a guy who matched what I was looking for. He enjoyed drinking and was into anal sex—exactly the kind of partner I needed. Feeling confident, I casually agreed, and we arranged to meet in person.
