Some things are harder to talk about than death. — A story in 100 words.
This wasn’t a new diagnosis. I’ve had this as long as I can remember. I only talked about it in passing …and when I needed to.

I’d given up drugs— the illegal ones anyway. It’s just the legal ones now.

The dying part.
The love part? We’ll never discuss.
What’re three more months anyway?
