Author Notes:

This is a story I wrote about two years ago and recently dusted off for revisions, so I’m interested to hear what people think. It is not especially graphic, but delves into mental illness; depression, PTSD, suicide (implied), grief, etc. If you need to be gentle with yourself regarding these issues, please do so. Otherwise, I intended the ending to be hopeful, and I hope it is.
