The Void

I remember when David died and a fracture in my mind opened up and formed the large, deep, dark lake called Grief.

I was terrified. I didn’t want to go anywhere near it for fear of drowning. I knew for sure that if I got too curious and tip-toed to the edge, I would surely slip on the loose rock and fall in head first only to be swallowed up by whatever dark sinister creature took my husband.
