At first, I followed my modus operandi of using language and imagery to avoid being specific. I wrote about how my chest feels heavy and numb at the same time, and how [...]

I had last Friday all planned out. I was going to get up early and go to work for five hours. I was then going to head over to my parents’ house with my friend Fi. At 2pm, my parents were going to drive the four of us to the coast for the Moruya Jazz [...]
