The Traitor's Story

by Kevin Wignall

“I think everyone’s trying to find this point in time where they fit, where everything’s right, where they fit into the universe.

we’re young, so we keep thinking it’s in the future and we’re running toward it. I guess people who are older, like you or like our parents, you keep thinking you missed it and it’s some place back in your past but you can’t pin it down. You know, we’re all looking for this same point of time and it always seems just out of reach—when we were happy, when things felt right, when we’ll fit into the universe, but maybe it’s out of reach because it’s not a point in time at all, it’s something else, something inside us. Like déjà vu.”
