In this Chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy is titled 'Clean ad Unclean Food'. It reminds me of a health lesson that tells someone what to eat and not to eat to stay healthy like certain meats, fish, fowl and even vegetables.

Today, I know that some people do eat roadkill if still fresh today, but back then it was not done.

One must prove intentionality and enmity with more than one witness, and it finishes with not accepting ransom.

By pure chance, a man I barely knew picked me up, and we set off on a road trip. We didn’t become a romantic couple by the end of the journey, as happens in movies: we just spent a month together, and then I was on my own again. That was when I decided to write about everything that had happened to me. Since I was no longer attached to anything in this world, my ability to write was the only thing still holding me up…
