Regret distracts me with her constant patter. She can talk, that one. And Dread? He makes certain I never slip into ease or comfort. No...

In the interests of full disclosure and postscript'd contrition, I hereby confess that during my competitive-writing days, I... I... well, I used steroids.

Read Brenden Allen's post about the 'normal' period for grieving. It's a good read. He's articulate and thoughtful. Naturally reading it propelled me down a dark, overgrown garden path where the stones are moldy. Unsurprising, I ran into Ed.
