Chapter 24

• Julia
• Joyce is holding my hand as she leads me down the street to her apartment. She showed up at my place this afternoon looking for me because she went by my work at lunch and they told her I quit.
• Yes. I quit. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know how to fix it, I just know I can’t work there anymore. I need to do something else. Maybe that means going back to school and learning something new, or just getting in my car and driving west until I hit the desert and my car breaks down so I have to get a waitressing job to make ends meet, or moving back in with my parents and pretending I’m a kid again.
