Mattress

Golden sunlight streamed through the slats in the badly painted shutters, leaking light onto the perforated mattress that lay forgotten in the dust. The mattress, which was a suspicious shade of grey, had long since been used as a dumping ground for dirty plates and audacious, semi-naked women, waking up to find their money gone and only their host smirking down at them. Although the bedroom itself was grubby, the rest of the house was almost palatial, decorated in only the finest and most fashionable styles.
