Been here about a month, now; I figure that should be time enough to have the system down: So you bring people here. And they're supposed to get better. A second chance. A new lot in life.

Why?

And why can't anyone give me a decent goddamn answer to that? Someone had the nerve to tell me each one of us is specially chosen. My dead, aching ass we are; and what's the criteria?

And while we're on a roll with the 'why' questions -- how come I'm here and my sister ain't? She had to've died 'bout the same time I did, and she's no more or less 'guilty' in your eyes than I am.

So where the fuck's her "second chance"? And what am I doin' with one?
