The Cabin of Nowhere Quotes

“From an early age, I learned life was strange. Not a lot of things made sense. One day, you could be happy because you made a few shots in a basketball game, and later that night, the police could be at your door with an aunt you hadn’t seen since you were in diapers, telling you there’s been an accident and that she’s going to be staying with you while everything’s sorted out.

A sly fuck you to the principal and teachers who made him change it to what I was wearing on my hoodie that night. If you squinted, you could see the wrinkles were actually veins, and the curves near one end kind of morphed into the tip. Killian never confirmed this, but we all saw it. It wasn’t just me. Like, I swear it’s not some weird psychological tell about me—you know, seeing penises in everything.”
