Summary

This quote highlights the stark reality that hunger and starvation are often not simply the result of a lack of food production. It suggests that political conflicts and blockades, deliberately withholding access to food as a weapon, play a significant role in exacerbating the issue.

I am thinking that I don't want this to happen. I don't want

I am thinking that I don't want this to happen. I don't want to die. I don't want my friends to die. And to be honest, as the time slows down and my hands are in the air, I am afforded the chance to think one more thought, and I think about her. I blame her for this ridiculous, fatal chase--for putting us at risk, for making me into the kind of jackass who would stay up all night and drive too fast. I would not be dying were it not for her. I would have stayed home, as I have always stayed home, and I would've been safe, and I would have done the one thing I have always wanted to do, which is to grow up.
