Her place was a
mess. She never bothered putting anything away and kept the most useless
pieces of junk, the most inconsequential flyer and pamphlet from the most
ridiculous museum or flea bit hotel that we had stayed at during one of our
journey's outside the city. This wasn't done for nostalgic reasons- it was
done because she subconsciously desired to have everything, own everything, collect
everything. Having come from what she felt was a deprived background the
world owed her.
I owed her.
