“I’m done with wrapping boxes
buying things that no one wanted
trying on my own to save the day
while dad plays cards and bro reads verses
mom’s in tears between the curses
I need a fucking holiday I’m not ready for Christmas.”

— Alicia Witt

“I’m done. I’m old, I’m sad - that’s on a good day. I want out of this mess. But I don’t want to fade away, I want to flame away - I want my death to be an attraction, a spectacle, a mystery. A work of art.”

“Everybody skated and played hockey. When I was five, Dad gave me a heavy box for Christmas. When I opened it, there was only a piece of wood. I was so mad! Then he gave me another box, and the skates were there. Dad used to build a rink behind our house every winter. That's where I started playing hockey. From the time I was seven, I used to sleep in all my equipment. That way, I was ready to play in the morning.”
