I'm here because I don't know where else I can hide! After I killed my wife I ran, and ran until I hid in a ship I thought was deserted. The port was occupied by a huge fire, so I crept up and fell asleep, and then woke up to a sore wet neck that hasn't left until today. We were at sea, and I knew that the destination was Nicaragua from the cook of the ship who sympathized with my story and allowed me to hide in his room, and secretly served me food, cigarettes, and wines which helped me cauterize the wounds of my soul.
