You remember the knife

You remember the knife you kept under your pillow since last Halloween—a plastic-handled steak knife with a serrated edge that no one would miss because it was so old. And in the dark of your room, when the world pressed too mightily against your breastbone, you would pull it out, watch its metal blade reflect the tiny glint of light from the streetlamp a field away. Hold it against the blue veins of your pale wrist. Will yourself to saw deep enough.

The knife was for you alone, though you only ever made superficial cuts, ones that always healed in a day or two, concealed by the many rows of glass-beaded wrap bracelets you’d made with Hannah at Cats Club. This helped you convince yourself that maybe—just maybe—you didn’t really want to die.
