Though at first it appears that Felicia is simply in need of comfort, her more complex desires soon emerge: she wants the young doctor to quietly pull the plug on her vegetative father...

Down to her last $7, she bought a doughnut for dinner and spent the night on a park bench. Unable to afford even a cheap miniskirt, she sat down in an alley and pulled out her spare blue jeans. After carefully marking off a line just below the crotch, she cut off both pant legs using the saw blade of her Swiss Army knife, a gift from her dad. At 9 that evening she was back...
