Summary
You’re eighteen and the world is ending.
Maybe not literally. There’s no fire and brimstone, no apocalyptic viruses or the dead rising, no impending armageddon hailing from above. It’s not even at the barrel-end of a gun as you’ve always thought you would go. The world is still turning, and people are still going about their lives, and your world has just come to an end.
You will encounter this feeling many times in your life.
