Masochist?

A true life story

I watched him come towards me, shaky legs, with a drunken walk. I knew what was coming, so I bent my head.
Then the thumping began.

He hit my head again and again and again. Finally, I turned to face him and got a resounding slap on my face. I looked into his determined eyes, he looked into mine…and smiled – then hit me again.

For some reason, it felt good.
