I hated this stage. the chapter where it all begins to end. I hated this phase of searching eyes and in and in-and-out thoughts. I hated these repeating stories and mixed up names, but it would get worse. Honestly, if I had a nickel for every time someone told me it could be worse, I could pay his nursing home bills for years. “It will get worse my (so and so) forgot his name. You're lucky he's lasted this long.” frequently featured in conversational alleyways. I didn't understand how it could help me feel better to know that eventuall...

Make the coffee. Anna rolled out of bed. She had known since last night that it was her who would have to make mr. Cleary his morning coffee that day. Over sleeping was simply not an option .

2019 - august THE rush of adrenaline, he was going to do this. Peter felt his skin wrapped tightly around his frame. He ran out onto the stage. The floor was hard and smooth and the air was cold and he could feel every part of him trembling. The lights filled his eyes and he could hear the audience’s applause.
