“I’m not a victim. I don’t give people an excuse to make me a victim. I’d advise you not to give them the opportunity either.”
It was a moment among moments, but everyone was held in it, captured in a small and easy joy. I return again and again to this memory. It’s proof, you see. Not everything I did was wrong.
It was partly the terror that had grown in me alongside my very bones, knowing as I did that I only existed because my mother had outrun almost; I don’t know at what point you stop feeling the need to run, generation by generation, when you’re born after that.
I’d made myself an island of one, and now I was going under the waves.
