Fall Away
The Broken-Hearted
It’s always hardest when there are children involved.
Seeing the childhood joy, the wonder, vanish from their eyes. The confusion, the inability to understand that Mommy went away, and she’s never going to come back.
Some of those kids see horrors grown men would shy away from. They are forced to grow up, way too fast. They realize, too early, that the world isn’t always a happy, magical place.
People grow up – they have to. And I try to leave before I see the sadness and chaos left in my wake.

It's short. And late. I'm sorry.I was working on a long chapter for my other story.
But!
I have the next chapter almost-finished, so I will try to post that sometime tonight - tomorrow at the latest.
