In a congested store, there were dozens of you. Drooping pants with patterns of leaves and woods. Tousled hair, insanity wrapped around your irises. On the ride home, in a perfectly unassailable neighborhood, you were there. That’s him, I spoke, fear filling the inside and coating the outside. He’s here. Why do people glamorize this ghastly feeling? He may be devouring pills, swatting at nonexistent flies, but what about us? **He was a magnanimous boy! A good kid who steered in the wrong direction.** But why did the effects of his crash **** me? What the hell did I do to deserve such panic?
