7. Under what circumstances have you been closest to death?

"Some kind of virus" was their final diagnosis. Dehydration. Renal failure. Extremely low blood pressure. She was 25.

I can't look at her. I can barely walk out the door. I wake up at 4am vomiting.

At the funeral I lay my hand on her cold forehead. I don't remember hitting the floor.

1. What door do you wish you never opened?

Dont' go home!

A fog comes over me when I think about it.

I couldn't go home. He was there.

I sat in the theater for movie after movie. Sticky floors and Bright Light headaches.

I tried to pay attention to the story on the screen, but he was always waiting in the quiet spaces.
