Y'all, I have lived through terrible things.
I don't believe this is over, and in any case I have already spent years fighting against impossible odds and faced a great deal of violence because of it. Many times when I needed someone to stand with me, they took the easy route out. I should be dead about a million times over, and somehow I am not.
The horrors persist, but so do I and my cats. No matter what happens, we are going nowhere.
