After he died, after that scream, I shattered. It wasn’t that time flowed differently. It was a completely different life.
I found the snow again today. I found flight, and I’m spinning, and it all came back so easily. And I watch as the children go flying down the mountain, and everything feels empty.
Sometimes I need comfort, and I lash out instead. I am not your typical victim. I am so very angry.
