I had to stop reading this chapter before I got to end when Clark was talking about how people shouldn't have to lose loved ones in that way. I cannot say or write that word, but I lost the person who meant most to me in just that way. Except the guy who did it came out of it fine and didn't face any consequences for his actions, which just makes losing them like that so much harder. It was several minutes before I was able to come back and finish reading the rest of the chapter.
I got confused with Floyd and Larry when Clark was trying to find an apartment.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
I've been fortunate to not lose anyone I care about in such a manner, and I am so, so sorry that you've had to experience that. I can't imagine how painful that is, especially when the party at fault gets off scott-free.
I apologize for the Floyd/Larry mix up. It was Larry in the first draft, then Val reminded me that his name was Floyd in the show. I somehow missed changing it, twice, when I was editing it.
Thanks for reading.
