Today I went to see my brother's hockey playoffs at the rink where I used to skate. - it wasn't at all a calculated decision. The whole time I sat staring into the screen of my phone. Paralyzed. Fearing that you might be in the same building. Teaching. Your license not yet taken away. Flashbacks. Parents angry that I didn't watch the game. - I couldn't move. Fearing I would attract the ghost of you and the horror that always follows alongside you.
