Friendship
The Fog in My Bones
I’m gonna tell you something stupid. Something I barely admit to myself, let alone another living soul. It’s about a place. A particular patch of earth, wind-battered and soaked in rain, somewhere on the very edge of the world. The thing is, I’ve never been there. Not once. But I feel nostalgic for it, like I left a piece of my goddamn heart on its rocky shores a lifetime ago.
