"I know him, and in knowing him I love him, and in loving him I cannot do as he wishes."
Never has a shorter story made me this emotional. Also second person prespective, which I love.

What a well written short story. I previously read The Ten Thousand Doors of January and enjoyed it so I thought I would give this story a try and I’m glad I did. It was powerful, dark, and sad, yet hopeful. This short story made me want to read more by this author.
