This is the first draft of a novel which I have decided to publish on the blog chapter by chapter as a work in progress. Any comments, suggestions, etc will be much appreciated. It will only be up temporarily. Chapter Three Physical recuperation is a long and painful process. At times I long for the numbness of paralysis. The fatigue and the effort, the re-entry into a world which has moved on without you and is impatient of your tardy attempts to approach, it all doesn’t seem worth it.

This is the first draft of a novel which I have decided to publish on the blog chapter by chapter as a work in progress. Any comments, suggestions, etc will be much appreciated. It will only be up temporarily. ‘You need treatment they said,’ Caroline says. ‘You need care. 24 hour care.’ Caroline has dried her tears but you can see her eyes are red and there are tracks on her cheeks. I don’t think she dried her face very well. She went and washed it just now, but I think she wants people to see her and realize she has been crying. |
