(Malory) Valerie; a girl throwing herself into the daunting world of a mysterious guy she hopes to c***k; a girl who inevitably finds out his secrets; a girl who runs away from them. Malory; a girl throwing herself into the chaotic world of a guy she never really even liked; a girl finding out his secrets; a girl running away from them. The irony. The water is warm –I’ve been standing here under the showerhead long enough that I can call myself steamed human flesh –I wonder if cannibals fancy that. I didn’t have the willpower to go to school today. I didn’t have the strength. I didn’t have the emotional or mental stability. I stayed home and memorised my lines for the play all day. Now I’m getting ready for work. I don’t have a choice but to go for survival purposes.
