| EIGHTEEN |
| by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal |
| No one believes me
when I say my husband is alive and well. If this is really a delusion, why won't they leave me alone? I'd rather think positive thoughts than to deal in reality. Why accept the fact that I'm old and sick? Why can't I believe that I'm young and eighteen? My husband is nineteen. We have our whole lives ahead of us. I don't want to face life old, sick, and alone. |
