““The food created a nice topcoat. It helped to smooth down the ragged bits. Sealed off the parts of me that were broken. It filled in all the holes. Covered up the cracks. Yep, I just put some food on top of any and everything that bothered me. The food just spackled right on in there. And presto! Underneath the food, everything inside me was smooth and cold and numb. I was dead inside and that was good.””
