I even thought of goin’ back to that hunting bastard, but I couldn’t imagine him gobbling me up with his damn grotty teeth, and my breasts stuck between his left jaws, so I stayed where I was. After a while, I was sure the coast was clear, so I went around looking for anyplace to go to. I finally found this huge hut where a wrinkled lady lived at. She found me and fed me everyday, what a nice woman that was.
I let the cat idle. My patents. It's not like I hate them or anything. I just cau't see them. I can close my eyes and form my sister's face behind my eye-lids, but not my parents' faces.

I thought my life had hit a dead end, and I said to myself “if she’s dead I don’t want to be here either.” Dealing with my mother’s death was not easy, but there was nothing I could do about it.
