It's easy to agree to talk about it tomorrow when you can rewind time so tomorrow never comes.

A very interesting and poignant story. Being at the stage of life where I have started to lose friends, I can empathise with them. Good job.

I like this. It was in my mind simple and yet gentle with it's probing. I think Discord would be happy. : )

I've had to reread this like five times and each time I'm rewarded with another little piece falling into place.
big "the end of something" vibes. "it felt like the sun went out." "I feel as though everything was gone to hell inside of me."

“Please, please, please…”

heartbreaking, fantastic work
