She said she wanted to get high, He took her to the tallest
hill in town. She said that she wanted to stay up all night
and drink, He gave her a twelve-pack of caffeinated Pepsi
and said, “Drink up.” She said that she wanted to shoot
herself in the face, He gave her a water gun, put her
finger on the trigger, aimed it at her face and helped her pull
the trigger. She said that she wanted to cut herself, He took
a Polaroid picture of her, handed it to her along with
scissors, and had her cut it up. She said she wanted to
cry herself to sleep, He had her watch a sad, romantic
movie before bed. She said that she wanted to be alone,
He gave her a name tag that said, “My name is: Alone.” She
said that she wanted to have someone there to take care of
her always, He asked when he wasn’t.
