A strange maid

Strax woke up with a strong tingling in his head, his body aching as though it had been run over by a steamroller. His muscles were tense, and his mind was dazed, as if he had just taken a beating that only reality could deliver. He tried to move but felt a weight on his body, a strange and uncomfortable sensation, as if the world itself was working against him in some way.

When he opened his eyes, what he expected wasn't there. He didn't feel the warmth of his wives' bodies, that comforting touch that usually made him feel safe, even in a battlefield. He quickly sat up, his eyes trying to focus as the surroundings seemed to blur. When he finally managed to see clearly, he realized something was wrong.
