Chapter Five
It’s time to go back.
The words run through my head in the darkness that seems to be the entire world for me.
It’s time to remember.
I can’t help it. I have to remember, I have to go through it all again, and I can’t change one damned thing.
It’s time to find the truth.
I know the truth. Or at least part of it. Perhaps I will finally learn the rest. The ‘why’ of what happened that terrible summer. The summer I, and everyone else who survived it, can never forget.
Remember.
I don’t want to. It hurts too much. Once was enough. I don’t know if I can take the pain again.
Remember, Philip.
I want to beg whatever force is doing this to me to stop, but I can’t.
Relive it, Philip. Relive it all.
I can’t resist. The darkness is clearing, and I’m being dragged back. Hell, here I come.
