18 Years of God Damn Bullshit: A Memoir

I Hated it When You Were Gone

((TW:// Feces mention, Food, Emaciation))

I knew you were broken

We needed you

I did

There was no power, or water, or food

We ate Domino's pizza

I’ve always hated Domino's pizza

I learned how to make her tea in the microwave perfectly after practicing for months

I loved lying in her bed

It was always cold in a nice way, and she let me watch scary movies with her on Netflix

In those last days she could barely get up to shit

She was stick thin, grinding her bones on the porcelain when she sat on the tub’s edge

My cats must have been starving along with us

On the last few days she made brussel sprouts with curdled sour cream

I still hate brussel sprouts

I wonder if the air gets still and silent like it did in those days
