Chapters

This isn't a story about how, like, somebody did a bad thing to me. This is a story about how two people who were unhealed addicts came together and lost their minds. Wow. And God let her live long enough for that to happen. So to answer your question, what is it like to have the person you love the most in the world die? I lost her before she died. I lost her to drug addiction, which actually made cancer look like a day at the beach. And I lost myself in that before she died. So I lost both of us. I lost me and I lost her.
