Linda got the answers she had been searching for about Thomas, and while at first it shocked her, it did not stop there, it quickly became something far worse than mere surprise, because what she realized in that instant was that everything surrounding this situation, everything that had led to this moment, was nothing more than complete bullshit that had been building for decades without anyone even noticing, or perhaps pretending not to.
There was really only one word that could describe it all… bullshit.
She thought about a country where the leaders of agencies the very people meant to guide and protect were left to poison themselves under the weight of their own sins, where enduring emotional torment and post-traumatic stress was nothing compared to the physical pain they inflicted on themselves through pills, through poison, through desperate measures they believed were their only way out.
What kind of reality allowed this to happen?
