“We used to sit here like this together, you and me, getting lost in the flames. We were similar in that regard. Never quite felt at home if there wasn’t a fire. There were days when a whole morning might pass without us noticing. We probably had the radio on, and you were almost certainly busy making something. ‘Time’s strange, isn’t it,’ I say after a while. She meets my eye but doesn’t speak. ‘Sometimes it moves so slowly, and then suddenly…’ I move my hand as fast as I can, demonstrating the way that twenty years of my life just happened.

“A few quotes to entice you:
"I never used to do this, dwelling on things and getting myself all worked up, but every single part of my life is delicate now. I feel a sudden fondness for the old man in the mirror. It's not bloody easy, being human."

“Abandon her? Which of us has been abandoned, I want to ask. You’re not the one stuck with a lifetime’s worth of memories in a body that’s slowly withering away.”
“How can it be better for me when it’s not what I want?’ My voice breaks. I’m so damn tired of everyone else deciding what’s best for me.”
“No one has ever told me that it’s normal for a person’s eyes to well up so easily as they age, for the tears to find a foothold in virtually every memory.”
