Alright guys, I'm out of here. I've gotten a haircut! Walked back to the house and felt stronger laps of fall blow over me. Every time I feel it, I know it's time for me to go. And now I am. Realized it this morning and started laughing hysterically! Because I'm finally leaving! After all this time. Finally. For me, this nightmare is over. This basement will now become part of my past.

Saturday morning, I'll fly back to Las Vegas and I'll be there until October. Then, I'll fly to Pittsburgh and begin my new life!

"...So I read to myself:
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page
A black and white picture
Of Manhattan Skyline."
