There's definitely no reason to be hopeful in this world but I like how John keeps telling himself that things can be okay again and he doesn't let the ghoul crush his hopes. I'm rooting for John and Janet to make it out of this mess. Great post.

Thank you. I think hope is really all he has to go on. I've often considered making this into a novella, it would be nice if they made it out but I don't know!

Thanks so much! I wrote this one a few years ago and it’s always felt like a bit of a gut punch (in a good way) so I’m glad you enjoyed it.
