Just Kill Me
“Better enough to function, at least. The world doesn’t seem as scary when the sun is out, and the lingering dread retreats enough that I can get up and walk to the bathroom. I can look around my room, even into mirrors. But the feeling of dread is still there.
I’m afraid the police will come for me.
I’m afraid I’ll log on and find a million e-mails from people who’ve read stories I never wanted them to see.
I’m afraid that a woman I thought was my friend has been plotting to kill me this whole ...time. Maybe tonight will be the night.
A week ago I thought it was awesome that some people had already put Halloween decorations out to go with the cold wave. Now they don’t seem fun anymore. The plastic skeletons dangling from the trees look like people who’ve been hanged and left to rot.
I lie in bed until the sun is fully out, then text Kacey to see if she wants to go on a road trip to a town called Magwitch Park.
The traffic on I-55 slows down, then speeds up, then slows, and speeds up again as I ride along in Kacey’s car.MoreLess
