The Last Black Unicorn

(Ann) #1

know how when somebody’s like, they want you to do
something, but they don’t want to feel bad about their role
in it? ͳey want you to take the blame for it, so they don’t

you.”

I fucking hated him right then.
I remember the clinic so vividly. As I walked through the
door, something came over me. I hate to admit this, but it’s
true—I became very happy.
It was like a total one-eighty from how I felt in the

be in this trap. I know I’m not going to be in the trap
anymore.”
