York is ghost heavy isn't it,
Posted on Wed, 06 Mar 2024
York is ghost heavy isn't it, you can almost feel them brush against you as you walk around the city. The cryptic message, can it really be from the blonde shopaholic wife? I think I've said this before but your writing has a real unmistakable...

Very powerful as others have said. The idea of violence perhaps a more uplifting and empowering respite from the grief, especially since your daughter's death was avoidable. I can imagine the twists and turns of anger being straightened,...
