2024-02-23: death letter

a notification on my phone. someone from my past is dead.

that's it. there are a few of us who've been expecting this a while and it's complicated and bad in a lot of ways that are hard to describe. i was on the edge of it and it's not my story to tell.

i'm half expecting someone i used to know to reach out in the wake of this, once they find out as well. i don't know what i'd say. if i'd even reply.
