O gün yine evde tek başıma nette takılıyordum. Her zamanki gibi sapık muhabbetlerin içine giriyor ve kendi kendime eğlenmeye çalışıyordum....Ama bu gece bu durumdan da fazlası ile sıkılmıştım. Hemen kendime bir bira açtım ve soğuk bira ile amımı ve götümü ıslattım. Sonra da en azından bu sıkıntıda kendime zevkli bir zaman ayırmak için bira ile ıslattığım amımı götümü parmaklamaya başladım. Bir de vibratörüm vardı ve bu şekilde kendi kendimi sikiyor tatmin etmeye çalışıyordum.Ama aklımdan çıkan. Marks disappeared into the building and I lost sight of him.Sarah and I rushed for the stairs hoping to cut off Marks before he could escape. We didn't pass anyone on the stairs and were soon looking down at the broken body from the open window. A quick search crabbed the special elevator that ran from the 102nd floor to the 86th floor. We took it down and found the bulls already there. We spent several minutes being given the third by New York's finest. It turns out the stiff was Lester. It looked just like the statue her aunt had given her years ago. It reminded her of just how strong she was. Not long after, she received another letter from Claudia’s address. Rea felt a sharp pang in the pit of her stomach but forced herself to open the envelope. There was a whole letter written from her uncle, but Rea only saw the first line. There was a simple phrase written in the lovely loops and spirals she had loved since she was a kid. It said ‘I’m okay.’ Rea smiled at that memory. At the cash register there sat a ratheryoung girl, heavily made up. Curiously she observed my approach. "For mysister," I lied, happy about not having just stuttered.As I left the store I felt quite prepared. Actually I had intended to buymore make-up, but I didn't trust myself. What would the cashier have saidthen? I'd have to ask Svenja for help.When I got to Svenja's, she saw the paper sack from the drugstore andasked, "Well, you bought some make up?" No, just tissues." And why not? My stuff.
