AND WHEN I WAKE up the first thing I see is blue and red flashing across my sister’s plaster ceiling. I know she called them. Deep down I knew she would when I walked in the door. I’m not angry at her, she’s just big on consequences, closure, whatever.

I’ll go without conflict. They’ll take me in and they’ll call me a monster, and they won’t be all that wrong.

They’ll put me in the hospital. The staff will hear what I’ve done. They’ll sweat fear when they stand near me. I’ll try to prove to them that they’re wrong.

Maybe I’ll learn to control myself in there. I’ll have the time. I’ll practice. I’ll try to focus.

For myself. For my sister. She’ll visit. I know she will. Please.

There’s a knock at the door.

I hope they’ll let me take the afghan with me. It keeps away the cold.

I press her blanket to my face, inhaling deep with my eyes closed, so that my nose and throat and mind are filled with green apples, sweet to bursting and wonderful. Then I open my eyes, steady my hands, and unlock the front door.
