Why I Hate Tao?

We are literally in the middle of nowhere. Trees surround us on all sides. It’s like humans were never there. Did Mother Nature just decide to blank us out of existence? My memory flashes back to my sister. I flinch. I don’t want to be reminded of what I left behind in order to live. Those scientists are evil. Why did they leave me with the person I hate most?

This is not theoretically possible. I can remember it, but I can’t string it together. Does this make me
