I left New York that afternoon. Stumbled down the steps past Buddy the comic book reader in his booth and made my way to the nearest highway. I hitched a ride and never looked back.
You may think this was what spurred me on, encouraged me to live every day as though it was my last, the fear of being caught for her murder. But things were different back then. She was a freak in a sideshow, she mattered to the police as much as garbage in the gutter. And the sideshow, well, they could always… recruit fresh talent. There was a new Lady Alligator around every corner.
The truth is – and yes, I promised you the truth – that I have pushed every day of my life to the very brink because, as I said, I understand what most people don’t. Life is finite, whether you believe it or not. We only get so many spins.
And I know, in that same dark room inside myself, that when I run out of spins, I’ll face her again. It.
I’ll pay for my sins by staring into those eyes, the same ones that shed a single tear on the day we were wed, the ones above that terrible smile. When my life is over my hell will begin, all pointed teeth and scaly skin. If you’re reading this now, I’m already gone, and it’s already started.
Live every day to the fullest.
We all leave in different ways.
