Coughing, stealing, and getting committed.

Late

I stole a bunch of textbooks. Well, I won't say "stole" but I took. I've done that before and I'll do it again. I did it right in front of a cop.

Earlier

I pulled up to the window and a minute later, she told me she checked herself in. I'm pleasantly surprised when people confide, especially when it makes zero professional sense. She got better, it seems, in the end.

Much later

I woke up with a hacking cough. I could see my breath and I hurt my throat, and wheezed till I hurt my chest. I stood up then and went into the house, and drank an enormous amount of water.
