Abstract

Someone once summed up my life by saying, "You must have been the prettiest hooker at the prom!" Then someone else told me that perhaps my life could be better explained by my fondness for bathing in pools of DDT. I don't know who's right. All I know is that for me, there was never a game. There was only ever the watch.
