JacksonThe sky was painted with hues of orange and purple, clashing as though over a property dispute. The orange was the exasperated homeowner, sick of not being paid the rent, but the purple didn't back down, flaunting their deplorable squatter’s rights. Eventually, the sun set, and the purple dominated the skies above, having won over the landlord and avoided eviction, remaining not homeless for another month. Lucky.I couldn't stop thinking about my rent problems.
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a bad person. Evil, scummy, vile, miserable. A real lowlife type.Every year since I was six, I wished on as many 11:11's, chicken wishbones and ladybirds that I could find, so I could finally become a smooth criminal. I even made it a regular New Year's resolution to be "as evil as possible", much to nearby adults' amusement. They kept telling me to be a good girl, like Wonder Woman. They didn't understand just how much more fun it felt to be Harley Quinn.
