Sometimes You Find Hope in the Darkest Places | Mashton

"Why are you so patient with me? I want to die, and that's fucking selfish, because there's a possibility that you will, even though you don't want to."

"Because I love you. I'm not going to die, and neither are you."

Or, where Michael is a depressed, anxiety-ridden, self-harming introvert, whose mother is forcing him to volunteer at a hospital, and Ashton is a patient suffering from leukemia, whose outlook on life is strangely optimistic and positive, for someone in his situation.

This is their story.
