When Dad was tucking me in that night, the night before the worst day, I asked if the world was a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise. “Excuse me?” “It’s just that why does the earth stay in place instead of falling through the universe?” “Is this Oskar I’m tucking in?

If you have ever stepped foot into my room, you would understand there is a demon intertwined with the soul of my cat. She will literally claw, bite, and hiss at anyone including me on her truly impatient days.
