The Shadows

by Alex North

While I had spent most of my life trying not to think about what had happened in Gritten, the truth was you didn’t need to think about something for it to affect you.

I don’t care if you ever think about me at all. I’ll think about you instead.

Adrenaline was a poison; if you didn’t use it up, it used you instead.

moments you understand on some level are pivotal. Where everything will change, and you’ll regret it forever if you don’t do something you know you should.

Perhaps life was just a matter of doing what you thought was best at the time and then living with the consequences as best you could afterward.
