One of my more emotional stories · 6:58am Dec 19th, 2020
The story was initially inspired by a movie from 2009 called The Time Traveler's Wife, but it took on sort of a strange quality after watching Doctor Sleep. My old man was actually a schizophrenic alcoholic with a violent temper, and I told myself I'd never turn out like him. To this day, I've kept that promise. Odds are I'll never get the chance to be a husband or father, but at least I know who I'd be if I did.
