Ghost Wanted (2014)
“No paragraphs, just words, some running into the next words.
Dear Susannah, I didn’t mean to tell you about her. That day you found me crying, you said if I wanted to share the burden, it might help me feel better. I don’t know if I can ever feel better. You told me you wanted to help and it might make me happier if I let go of what troubled me. So I told you how much I hated her. I didn’t tell you why, just that she had ruined my life. You said hating hurt me, not her. You said if I wanted... to tell you what happened, you were there for me. I knew if I told you what made me feel this way, it would be better. But I didn’t want to tell you what I had done. I knew you wouldn’t ever tell anyone but I didn’t want you to despise me. That’s why I turned away and stared at the wall and finally you patted my shoulder and left. I woke up in the night—I wake up in the night a lot now—and knew I had to do something. I can’t do anything now, I don’t have that much time, but maybe if I tell you, you can make her stop.MoreLess
