doireA character was killed recently. It wasn't unexpected; it was some years later than I thought it might be. And though it might be said to be futile, it was in defence of friends. Next month flashback could resurrect them.
But it hit me hard.
And that makes me feel guilty. Surely I shouldn't feel sorrow for a paper creation, especially just now when there is so much real tragedy.
But that character is part of me. I contributed to their story in my head every time I read about them. This death is personal top me. It's not wrong to mourn.
