Awaiting Oblivion

It looks like the Milky Way is waving to me in the sky... Marjorie was the first person to change. Her thin, gaunt body gained a strange new vitality. Aunt Janet, who lived with Marjorie, was next. When Marjorie held her down and started gnawing on her fingers, she suddenly exploded with a strong will to live. What's so great about living? I don't know. Maybe she just really wanted to live to see Melanie's baby be born. As for Bonnie, I haven't seen her. I don't know if that means she's been lucky, or unlucky. My father seems to be calling for me, he may have heard Aunt Janet's cry. It doesn't matter, I already left. There will be no one on the farm now... I feel closer to death here, a Pyrrhic victory haunting me in peace. I guess the mysterious blue tide in the sky is gushing from the black tower they built over there, so will the black tower be my destiny? For now, I'll keep hiding in the garden, if no one disturbs me then perhaps I can repent before I die...
