Connected with her on facebook and chatted about the neighborhoods in Philadelphia, specifically West Philadelphia. Invited her over to watch The Soprano's finale and she happily obliged. When I picked her up she was not the same as I remembered. Stunningly derelict, we walked and discussed life.

I sat on my chaise, she in my recliner devoid of emotion, watching blankly, tense. We sat silently; she was pensive, remembering the weekend, NYC, and home. I didn't know what to say to her. She was hungry, humbly asking for enough to get by, a peanut butter sandwich. She was trying to survive.

Walking to my car, she began her story. She is a starving artist in the truest sense. She is a writer. She wants to write comedy. I know she writes from the heart. She has more to tell, but we reach the car. We talk until arrive at her apartment and she thanks me for the night. I can't tell if she is relieved to be home or afraid to get out of the car. I wish that there was more I could do.
