starving.

I got off a bus in downtown Reading. I was talking to people out loud on the bus. I was completely lost. I was about to get out of the state hospital for good and go to my parents’ farmhouse home. Things would change for me.

I was so thin.

I started talking to a girl outside the bus and she said, “She’s talking to me!”

It was the starving girl from boarding school and the half-crazy girl from my childhood coming out.
