Anyone can see the dark sinking from her eyes to her soul.
Everyone can hear the muffled sobs between classes.
Most people notice her new mechanical way of life.
Some people stop to ask “Are you okay?”
She blinks, then turns away.
No, she’s not okay.
Why the hell would she be okay?
Because suicide is a bomb.
There’s never just one casualty.
