this is a very small extract from a novel i’m working on.
people come and people go. yes, it’s true. it might seem a bit dark but it’s not. it’s not as grim as it sounds because there are people -as scarce as they may be- that stick around. they might not be right there, right next to you every minute of every day, but they try to be. they’re the people that, even though they have just as many problems in their lives as you do, maybe even more; are at your side when the sun is falling and the shadows stretch to swallow you whole. they are the people you should care about. they are the people you should trust.
