the cure (Patreon)

Roy drives fast when he's freaked out. I'm in the back with the mom

and the kid. She's sobbing and saying "why?" over and over again,

reaching out for the bandages. I have to keep gently pulling her hand

away. The kid went at himself pretty good with a kitchen knife. Cut

into his penis almost half way through in some places. Persistent but not

entirely effective. He's in shock, from the trauma and the blood

loss. You can tell from how blank his face is. His voice is calm,

so it almost sounds reasonable when he tells her, "so that I

never hurt you."
