We don’t. ❜ ❛ I used to think this curse was what happened to me once a month. ❜ ❛ Life is a series of choices. As it turns out, death is the same. ❜ ❛ What am I now? Where do I go from here? ❜ ❛ Do you accept what you are or do you refuse? ❜ ❛ I’m not interested in making things convenient for you. ❜ ❛ I’m afraid I’m gonna need a little bit more reassurance than that. ❜ ❛ You invited the entire neighborhood into our house?
