Falling in love with someone is the surest highway to hurt that I know. When the door to love opens, the window to control closes.

The Screaming flashed me back to a time when mom and dad were still together if you could call miles apart together.

But death doesn't scare me. To know exactly when I might expect it, up close and in my face, would actually be a comfort. Because to tell the truth, most of the time dying seems pretty much like my only means of escape.
