“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up.

Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”
