The Silent Patient

by Alex Michaelides

Alcestis.

We’re all crazy, I believe, just in different ways.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They

are buried alive, and will come forth later, in uglier ways.

one of the hardest things to admit is that we

weren’t loved when we needed it most.

It’s a terrible feeling, the pain of not...

love that doesn’t include honesty doesn’t

deserve to be called love.”
