Astra's Nightmare Continues

She had been brought up to believe that there was nothing shameful about the naked body, but their constant unwavering gaze made her feel somehow unclean. Astra could never remember having blushed before, but she could feel her cheeks burning now. Also she was afraid that if she looked closely into the starers' eyes she would see the same unspeakable things that she had seen in the eyes of the man she had felled, so she avoided looking them in the face.
