(I wrote this when I was at the lowest point of my depression, just before I started my long road back from the edge.) I'm keeping the door shut, not that it matters. I haven't bothered to lock it. Why should I? The fog cannot unlock doors; it doesn't need to. No. The fog creeps 'round the edges, through the keyhole, and under the sill.
