CONTAINS TRIGGERING CONTENT

There had to be a word that reached above and beyond reckless stupidity, but Noah couldn’t think of it right now. In fact, he wasn’t thinking straight at all. If there was something he had been for days now, it was subdued and somewhat emotionless. It was because he had been extensively humbled and shocked by the help he had been offered, and also too sick to do much else. He wanted to follow through, he really did. At first he did. But he got so far, and the panic began to set in. He was being a burden to these strangers. They had gone above and beyond to help him.

He didn’t deserve it.

No one could say he had a rational mindset these days. He was an addict, of course he didn’t. Not even close... )
