A Complex Reflection on Past Influences
Ramada
Topper, I was so young, just a schoolgirl. He was an older man, so wise in the ways of the world. He used to come around the schoolyard, day after day. I so admired his persistence. Even the restraining order my parents slapped on him was no deterrent. He opened my eyes to the arts: music, clog-dancing, WrestleMania. His work has meant so much to so many. And I owe him everything, Topper. Everything.
Topper
I'm happy for you, kid. But if you think you can hurt me again, you're wrong. I left my heart in my other pants.
