Why I Despised Everything


        She quoted a dead playwright and called me a bullet with nothing but a future. She understood my lack of self-pity. She knew why i despised everything that might restrict my forward momentum. She knew that bullets have no conscience. They speed past things and miss their marks as often as they hit them.
