Ten.Two Thousand, Five Hundred & One

  1. Eighteen years.

  2. Still too dark to make my way out. Staring out the window waiting for the light.

  3. I turn the corner and see something sticking up out of the ground. I jump because at first, I think it’s a snake. But it is actually just a big stick. I should wear my contacts on these walks.

  4. These hurt.

  5. First cup in the dark office.

  6. One of those rare days when I am actually crossing things off the to-do list.

  7. Really? It was the cheese that sent him over the edge?

  8. Jab, jab, right, hook, uppercut.

  9. I miss her.

  10. All you can do is remember why you’re here in the first place. It’s always about the why.
