Listless days. “It was the very last moment of my childhood. A micro-measurement of time---not even a second---passed, instantly adult part of my brain understood...Every few - moments? - minutes? - you drift away and then the memory of why you are there washes back though you in another sickening rush. Some part of your brain logs the stress process: adrenaline, cortisol, norepinephrine, flooding your body...your life is now measured in threes.“

Congrats to Jesse Blackadder on publication day for #InTheBlinkOfAnEye!
It's a raw, powerful, poignant study of a family in a time of tragic crisis. So painful, yet compelling to read.

"The white coffin. The voice of the celebrant. The sound of people behind me crying.
This doesn‘t happen to us. This happens to other people. It was a stupid thing to think. But it wouldn‘t get out of my head. I‘d read about bad stuff in the papers, I‘d felt sorry for those people whose lives had been wrecked, and then I‘d forgotten them. And now we were them."
