Hi. I'm writing this from a library computer, Joel took the phone.
It was my shift to be awake and I- I think he wrenched me.
One moment Joel was in bed, the next, he seemed in pain, and the next moment he was up and my head started bleeding. When I came to my senses he was gone. Out of the door. He must have sent that blog post just before he decided that coshing me was a good idea.
