Come Closer

by Sara Gran

Because it was true; Leon Fields was a cocksucking faggot, and he did eat shit, and I had always suspected that he liked it very much.

November, I went back to the same drugstore and stole another tube.

quizzed me with all the warmth of an emergency room doctor:

big chocolate accusatory eyes.

and I wanted to kill him.

And that’s all I’ve ever wanted, really: someone to love me, and never leave me alone.
