The start? The start of what? What? WHAT????
A downward decline towards death? That's been happening since our bodies matured, decades ago. No, I'm afraid it's the shifting of roles, yes, so I suppose I am afraid it's the start all right. The start of the role reversal. I won't do it well. I know it isn't what they want. Father in particular. Mother would do better. No, it's too early yet for that. It's the sign of fragility, the first hint that I might be the stronger one.
I've always been unreliable, I cannot be the stronger one. I refuse. I will not hold up someone who pulled me down so fiercely.
