The Last

by Hanna Jameson

I’ve seen what happens when people think they are fit to be parents and they’re not. People are so arrogant; they assume anyone is up to the job. They have kids in their twenties, or even earlier, before they know how to be an adult themselves. Anything you do not deal with through extensive introspection and therapy, you will pass on to your children. I could never assume that I was good enough to be a father. I doubt many people are.

I think it was Stephen King who said that the sum of all human fear is just a door left slightly ajar.
