Hiding Her Darkest Desire
my mother continued to repeat, her voice barely audible amidst our cries.
We clung to each other, immersing ourselves in the shared sorrow.
Eventually, our weeping subsided, and my mother released her embrace, meeting my gaze.
"I'm sorry," she repeated once more.

I continued to drink, seeking solace in the silence while memories of my son flooded my mind.
Eventually, fatigue overcame me, and I succumbed to sleep, the liquor-induced slumber.
