 The happiest she had ever felt in her life. She couldn't even put it into words, she was so happy. But actually, it was that she had never experienced anything happy in her life so she had no possible way of describing it. She couldn't even find the correct words for happy because they weren't in her vocabulary. She couldn't. She just couldn't. So she cried. And they weren't tears of joy, either. She was sad that she did not know what being happy felt like. She was sad that she did not know the correct vocabulary words for happy. She was sad that she did not know why her mother left her. She was sad that she did not know why her father beat her. She was sad that she did not know when she was gonna die. And then she stopped crying. Because she did know when she was gonna die. It was gonna be right now. So she slit her wrists and watched them bleed. And then she was happy.
