New chapter of [L.] up. "Lover's Words". Laurent reflects upon old lovers, following the loss of his last great love, and returns to wondering what it all means if all love whispers are false, and what it would be to have a kind of silence.
I recognize that in this time in history, the chapter may seem somewhat topical, and I regret that. I wrote that part of this chapter, no joke, over a year ago. In fact all of it was written over a year ago, and a lot of the details that may seem to come from life in fact came from plague research of 1300s Northern France. I wasn't satisfied with the writing at the time. I think it's cleaner now, with a year more of experience, but still sort of chunky.
