The Door

Finely carved prose; almost austere, yet perfectly descriptive; utterly economical with words. Incredible characterization, introspection, and depth.

I know now, what I didn’t then, that affection can’t always be expressed in calm, orderly, articulate ways; and that one cannot prescribe the form it should take for anyone else.
