“I accidentally set my grandmother’s house on fire when I was six. Caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of lithium in my arm. I’ve lived in this building for sixteen years, ever since the shrinks diagnosed me as a sociopath with paranoid delusions. But they’re just out to get me cause I threatened to kill them. I’m twenty-four years old and I’ve never gone on a date. Never been on a roller-coaster. Never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don’t have the luxury of being more interesting than that.”
