A Welcome Reunion

by Lucinda Berry

Walmart parking lot all those years ago wearing only a diaper and a dog collar.

I thought it was the hospital parking lot?

“Listen, Hannah, I’m sorry you’re upset. I really am. I hate making you upset. You know that, but I needed to go and be there in person to see how I felt. Get some kind of closure. I don’t know. It just . . . it just was important for my healing, okay? Remember what the therapist said?”

Yep. He's still shitty.

I thought her book was supposed to be a tell-all memoir, but none of the stuff the two of them talked about today was in there.”

This man is a fool to think she'd say everything

I’d messaged Janie on their Discord, pretending to be Cole, and asked her to meet me here after her session tonight.

Notify the police tf?

You don’t get to decide if someone dies. You’re not God.”

Sometimes the old man takes too long

He just shook his head at me. “I can’t believe you. You’re no different than she is.” “Are you kidding me right now?

Ugh. Both of you just suck. Ruining her public image and manicured reputation would have been better

“I can’t believe you.” He wouldn’t stop repeating himself or shaking his head. “You can’t believe me? Believe this. We put down dogs when they have rabies. Once they get that poison in their blood and they turn on people? We don’t let them live. I did the same thing to her, Christopher. No different. I don’t care what she’s been through. Maybe being treated like an animal turned her into one, but either way—she’s an animal. A sick one, and we put sick animals down when they’re dangerous. It’s that simple.” “People aren’t dogs.” “They are when they act like savages.” I wouldn’t feel sorry about what I’d done, and he couldn’t make me. Maybe that made me like her in the end, but he could think whatever he wanted. So be it. I’d protected the one I loved and saved the world from a monster. It was finally over. She couldn’t hurt us or anyone else ever again.

Woof...talk about the arguement for the death penalty
