Bad person Quote by Trinity McSwain
“I fell down the stairs of the one level mental institute.so they put me in the safe cusion room but they found a bruise on my head that I got from banging my head on the brick wall. So they strapped me up well I cried and cried when they did that because its no fun at all but then I had to use the bathroom so I undid the straps and went to the bath room then straped myself back up.well there was this women straped up in the next bed beside me who asked me to unstrap her I aksed her what she was in for and she said she likes to break things like bones,windows, break out of jails break in to jails so I let her out and she said shed be my friend forever. I was so happy but she was a bad person she lied so the men in pretty blue costumes took a rope and went to a small room that had a step stool I geuss there was a way outside from there to take her for a walk.Well the lady in the long ugly white coat didnt like that I let the woman out so she gave me two ugly silver bracelets to keep.”
