I am posting a lot of my writings. They are in no particular order for now. Most of this is very old and from a long time ago.
I don’t know what happened immediately after the announcement. I just know that the next time I woke up, I was in the library. Reading a book from the psychology section. And I wasn’t usually ever this messy, but maybe I was distracted by everything going on, because for some reason I tried to leave the library with the book. And there was some kind of detector that I had to pass through. Where some kind of fob in the book set off an alarm. I panicked.
I don’t know why I was taking the book out of the library when I just could have checked it out of free. I have no idea. Maybe the “rules” said I couldn’t check books out that would be on my record. About things I couldn’t talk about with adults.
Or maybe that book meant something to me. Sometimes when I couldn’t have the comfort I wanted, an object that represented that comfort would mean more to me than just being an object. I would get super attached to the object. Maybe that is what happened. I don’t know.
All I know is I panicked. I think I put down my backpack and tried to walk out of the library without it. Because I was afraid they would search my backpack and find the bottle of gasoline I walked around with.
Yes, gasoline. For a long, long time I had been walking around with a water bottle that would normally be attached to a bike. And I had filled it with gasoline and kept it in my backpack. I never used it because I really didn’t want to hurt anyone. But for some reason I kept it in my backpack for a long time. Again, I think the gasoline represented a feeling for me that I needed to keep close. More than the gasoline itself.
But either way, I was scared of what they would do to me if they found the gasoline. So instead, I left my backpack behind and rushed through the detectors and walked as fast as I could directly to the school counselor’s office. The same school counselor who had taken me to the emergency room when I had attempted suicide before.
