Utterly brilliant. That's pretty much what I thought watching a reporter talk to a woman in the middle of the crisis in Ukraine. I was like, "You don't actually care at all. You just care about your story."

You're very welcome.
A glass of nepenthe, a glass of absinthe; sometimes the cure is measured by length. Here's to healing the feeling. I enjoyed.

Thank you, Fabian,

A scab is just a cover up or just protects so I interpret this write as both sinister ie insincere but on the other hand offers condolences. Depends whether philanthropic words do offer help. I’m probably off the beaten track but I like it.

Really liked this, thanks for sharing. Left me with a lot of imagery and emotion while being a small bundle of words. Great job pulling that off.
