“Sometimes you get all the way to the top, and things are good. Then you take one step too many, and fall headlong into the dirt. You get buried in the muck so deep, you feel like there’s no way out, and the longer you’re there, the more of yourself you lose. Purpose is the first to go. Dignity follows close behind. I’ve been down here for a while now. Nothing but dirt and shit everywhere I look. I wear it. I breathe it. I choke it down, until the foul taste doesn’t bother me anymore. And I can’...t say a word. At the moment, I’m not even a person in my own right. I’m not Desiree, I’m the letter D. But the wheel’s still turning, and it’s not over yet. I keep my mouth shut and watch, bracing for the inevitable. It won’t be long, either. I can already see the juggernaut taking shape. What’s come up is about to go back down, and this time it’ll take all of Haven with it. I can hardly wait. ~ A piercing shout outside made Desiree shove to her feet in alarm. Sharp pain cut through her right thigh, and she bit her lip, hobbling quickly toward the door to see what had happened.MoreLessRead More Read Less
