Ascending Heaven

Your story is so long. Too long for your age.

And it's not even a good one, you think. Normal to you, replayed it a million times. That's just who you are. Maybe you were born broken, wrong, mindset vile and the glass half empty, little rotten from the start. Maybe all that you got was deserved.

What happened to you?

Everything and nothing at all.

So perhaps Danny was right: maybe he's the best thing to happen to you after all.
