Twenty. Eight. Years. (part one)
Fitting, seeing that I’m writing YOI fan fiction and watching HP
It was a strange feeling to lose your parents. It was the kind of deep, enveloping pain that only came with truly life-altering loss, but at the same time it was accompanied by a degree of emotional liberation. Being without parents was like taking the stabilisers off a bike; both exhilarating and frightening. It was the final challenge on the road to becoming a true adult, beholden to no one but oneself.
—Iain Rob Wright (The Picture Frame: A Horror Novel)
