   Summary

   I don’t believe in God.
   I don’t believe in family.
   I definitely don’t believe in men.

   And I sure as hell don’t believe in ghosts.

   Until one finds me at a bar, orders me a drink, and asks for my name.

   Humans are like bones—resilient, dense, and easier to break the second time. I know that better than anyone. Each time, the fractures ran deeper. Each time, I believed a little less.
