1. My name is Leicester Burnham, this is my hometown, this is my street, this is my life. I am 42 years old and I will die within a year. Of course, I don’t know yet, but to be honest, my heart is dead long ago. Look at me, hiding in the bathroom and masturbating, this is my only orgasm, and then it went from bad to worse. This is my wife, Caroline. Look at how well her scissors and shoes match the colors. It's no coincidence.

2. I was tired when I saw her, she was not like this before, she was happy once, we were happy once.

B: You don’t have to apologize, it’s okay, everything is fine

24. It is heard that one second before death, his life will flash before his eyes. First of all, it is actually not a second, but an endless time. For me, my whole life is lying on the grass, watching the meteor shower, and the yellow maple leaves on the street, or my grandmother’s hands are like paper The same skin, another time I saw Tony's cousin's brand new Firebird sports car, Jane, and Caroline. I guess I should be angry when I die, but the world is so beautiful and I shouldn’t be angry all the time. Sometimes I can’t bear it after watching it once. My heart is like a full balloon that bursts at any time. Later I remember to relax and don’t think about it all the time. Hold on tight, all the beauty washes me like rain, so that I am grateful for my humble and stupid life at every moment. You must not know what I am talking about, but I am sure, Don't worry, one day you will understand...
