My apologies, but I don’t have ten reasons I will die alone. However, I read that if you put a number in your post title you get more hits.

MONSTER WIVES Listen. I wish I could tell you I wasn’t drunk off my ass at twenty-one, but I don’t remember most of being twenty-one. Apparently, I got a DUI while I was working, “working” for some pizza place and the internet ran with my mugshot being slapped on a damn Buzzfeed listicle seven years later.
