“The Beginning (Her Perspective)”
Narrator: Mallory Fehler (The Ex)
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO

We’re going out on our first date. This is my golden ticket. I hope he likes the dress my mom made. The devil here, safe in my head, knows if he leaves I’ll kill him dead. I cannot let this boy escape. This town fills me with dread. I’ll never be good. What I’ve done makes that clear. If he’s had enough I’ll blame the voices in my ear. I’ll listen to the devil on my shoulder. I can’t escape if he won’t take me from this town where life is colder. Can you be my way out? Let me learn to love you. I promise I’ll be grateful. I’ll try not to be hateful.

FIVE YEARS AGO

We’re going out kicking and screaming. This decade pushed him too far. He gave up, and now he’s leaving. I never thought I could push him away. I thought we were invincible, but I destroyed the love he claimed. I’m tethered to you. You can’t see my face. I’m broken in two from this hell that I have made. I’m angry at the devil on my shoulder. It steered me wrong, now I’m alone and you’re happy with a new lover.

You were my way out, but I fucked it up this time. Now I’m stuck in the town where no one lives.
