“I think of the festering wound in my side. Of the bullet that tore in there. The strange chill, the seeming blunt force, of that initial impact, That instantly became a lump of fire churning my insides, Of the hole it made in my other side, where it flew out and tugged my hot blood behind it. Of the barrel it was blasted out of. Of the smooth trigger. Of the eye that had me in its sights. Of the eyes of the one who gave the order to fire.”

“¿Lo entiendes ahora...? Que la debilidad puede ser el comienzo del camino que conduce a lo irreparable. Que el cansancio puede incitar a seguir adelante y cometer la estupidez de golpear desesperadamente una puerta sabiendo que hay un precipicio detrás. El momento en que te convences de que todo tiene su origen en ti y que, por tanto, la única salida lógica que existe es eliminarte a ti misma. Y, por último, la decisión de reparar la debilidad con más debilidad, la estupidez con más estupidez.”
