Purged
Alex sits down for dinner with his family. The conversation is unusually awkward and the spotlight is turned towards him and his recent endeavour. Questions close in: when, why, how? His family find it almost impossible to take an interest in how Alex feels, their focus is on how he tried to take his life. What does it take for a family to embrace their son’s depression and cast off their own fear and stigma attached to it?

Doloria had heard her mother tell this story a thousand times before. But today something was different. Today this story, which she could recite word for word began to morph and shift slowly, almost inconceivably at first. A different word here and there and then a whole phrase, until this once over familiar story from the past began to align with Doloria’s present. Why, why now and what did it mean?
