Blendedwhiskey - Existential Longing

The Distillery is a front for a guild of expert assassins, each codenamed after alcohol. Each member is skilled in a number of things, but when an important job really needs doing and nothing less than perfection is to be expected, a letter is always received with two words: “Send Whiskey.”

Fortesa Latifi, from The Truth About Grief.

I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.

- Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

only your name echoes in my head again and again

like a crowd in a sports match except it's my mind alone cheering you on and calling out to you as if you'd telepathically hear me one of these days
