Michael, your fragility bleeds all through this piece. I love how your mind could both be dyed and have died. The analogy of rubbing therapy into wounds is so clever. I know it's a sad piece but your words are still uplifting in how well they're written. Nominated and well done! :-) x

Excellent write.
