Into the Woods
“Andrews 16 None So Blind . I didn't want to wallow in self-pity after Winston's death. It seemed to me a selfish way to be. but I was more convinced than ever that everyone I cared for or who cared for me suffered some cruel fate. Surely this proved it was some sort of curse I brought along into every relationship. I was a Typhoid Mary. I carried the disease. but I didn't get it.
There was still my mother, of course, but that didn't mean she was exempt. In time I couldn't help believing that so...mething terrible would happen to her, too, and all because of me. I didn't tell anyone about these thoughts. They came to me again and again, especially during Winston's funeral. In church. when I looked around at the people in attendance. I was sure I saw the accusations in their granite faces. They were staring at me too hard and too angrily: and nodding at me. I imagined a wave of long, sharp forefingers pointed in my direction.
Maybe they believed I had taken up too much of his time, had given him too much to worry about.MoreLess
