"Symbelmynë is the flower that grows over the graves of kings. My mother christened me with the name before she passed away. It's a sign. I've been living in a playground. A large tube under a slide to be specific. It'll make a good tomb. A good grave...

[My mother] died giving birth to me because of a pre-existing condition. A condition she was blatantly aware of. Maybe it's a sign. That's all I've ever looked for. That's all I've been taught to look for. Signs. From God or the Lakers or the fucking Red Socks. Who knows.

It's only been a week.
I will die in this place."
