4. Off my meds eye contact, touch, freaks me out. I'm a feral animal doing my best to be invisible.

My "friendly act" is a means of escape. A deception. "Good dog!" they say while I'm a wild coyote trying to flee.

As a troubled college student the campus police and county sheriff had me on their "mostly harmless" list, someone who was an amusing distraction from the usual shit they had to deal with. It's 2 in the morning and Hunter has lost his clothes on the beach. That's good for a laugh, coffee, and a donut break. Take him home.

Roomies, cops pounding on the door, now?
