A Better Story
I wish I could tell you a better story, a story in which I knew who I loved, got to hold them to my heart long enough to know what felt right and what felt wrong, got to grow old and paint a door when the first coat wore down to the wood grain. This isn't that story. This is a story about betrayal; about how I thought the man I love betrayed me, and in so thinking, betrayed him as well. This is a story about working long jobs in dark rooms for a few galleons to spend on a cold meal and a colder slag in some alley too dark and twisted to even earn a name alongside Knockturn. But it's also a story of some fragile reconciliation. If you want to hear a better story, look elsewhere. This is not that story. But unlike those better ones, this one is, at the very least, true.
