Dear Diary, I really have no idea how much longer I can stand living here. I’m lonely here. The other women from town who I used to talk with live too far away from Tyler Ranch. Curley doesn’t talk much to me, as always, but then again… I really don’t enjoy talking to him either. He’s a truly malevolent person; I’ve never heard him say anything good about anyone…
