[Editor's Note - CW for Dissociation and death.
Apologies that this episode is late. I had to spend the weekend trying to fight with a courier service for my cats' prescription food. The kitties are doing good... Of course when I buy a safety bag that's when the initial one gets delivered. Why didn't I try that sooner?]
I never pretended I wasn't broken, but should I have clarified what I meant?
Meanwhile, a bridge is crossed, as the expression goes. How else can you politely speak of death.
