BECKETT

The guy wouldn’t let me into the women’s bathroom.

He stopped me at the door and refused to let me go inside. Said it was for the ladies.

So I punched him in the face.

I didn’t feel myself enter the bathroom, or sprint down the row of stalls, or jump from the toilet to the stall wall that separated me from her.

I only remember the complete terror that rolled through me when I saw what she was about to do.
