22You're not gonna believe me...but just go with me on this. Humor me, okay? Because I swear, it's all true.
After I disappear from the girl's hand, I leave the world of neurotic loons behind. (Bye bye, Hell!) The next thing I know, I'm floating. All by myself. Not attached to a hand or anything.
I'm floating in a vast blue sky, drifting through the golden light of a sun like the one back home.
And it is glorious.
The sunlight's warm on my little pinky body. So are the updrafts of air from the heated ground far below. They push me up, roll me around, carry me in lazy, spinning circles.
I never knew it could be like this. I have never felt so free in my life.
I've spent my entire existence hooked to someone else, forced to go where they go, forced to do what they want me to do
