“I so wish to be timeless, placeless, free from the meaningless laws of physics. It isn't the house, the town or my family that traps me - it's my body. I wonder how long it would take for somebody to find me were I to disappear completely into this dark water. But I'm not brave enough, don't mean it enough. There's something that stops me, some insistent force.”
