“I hadn’t thought of myself as a kid for a long time, but I guess I never really knew what I was. When you drop out of high school and go about things the way KC and I did, you’re not really following the normal milestones, you know? Like what everyone expects of you. Graduate middle school and high school and have a couple of friends and have at least one girlfriend and maybe have sex at sixteen and it’s really awkward and then you go to college, get a career, get married. Accident or otherwise, it didn’t matter. At least with these milestones, you know if you’re doing something right. Without those, how do you know if you’re making it? You know, things can look pretty bright before they burn out. Though, I guess there are plenty of people who may say KC and I never lit up. We were just embers, fighting against wind, trying to keep lit against the elements.”

“Her childhood had been magical, hours spent in ecstatic loneliness in the apple orchard, dreaming of foreign lands and wild adventures. Everything was new, down to bird song and grass blades. By the time she had reached adulthood, the town around her was like a grandmother who had used up all her stories and now simply rocked on the porch. The same flowers, the same streets, year after year. She longed for someone more exotic. A prince. A pirate.”

“When I was about nine, my siblings and I fell out of our moving van at an intersection. My dad didn’t notice for about five blocks. It was back before seat belts. It was also back before parents used any sort of common sense whatsoever. It was a time when you didn’t raise your children. You just fed them and they got bigger.”
