The World With Nothing in It

What no one ever talks about is how dangerous hope can be.
Call it forgiveness with teeth.

CLEMENTINE VON RADICS

In 1998, the world shook with a bang—a loud, cruel bang that rattled bones and put acid in people’s throats. The things left were scattered and broken, and there was something tragically lonely about it. The world felt so empty. So I touched her softly in the cold, in the heavy coats of dirt, because like everyone else, we were alone and scared and so tired, but hope was a dangerous thing I couldn’t stand.
