Alfred
I suppose therein lies the difference of your experience lasting years and mine happening all at once: I didn't have time to both adjust to my new reality or form positive memories. Then again, I wouldn't wish to be absent for years from my family and friends lives. I'm not a huge fan of children, but I do love my nieces and nephews.
Egypt was great until it wasn't. We were investigating this tomb and I grew careless. There was an accident, truthfully I don't remember much of it. The healers did what they could do for my hand, it was cursed you see, but I'll never be able to use it as I once did. I can barely hold a bloody fork in it, nevermind my wand.
I was so foolish, Alfred. Such a bloody fool, and now I have to live in the after. I fucking hate the after.
Jo
Although her handwriting contains much of the same characteristics, it is now a much sloppier version. Some letters have random lines going through them as though the quill suddenly shifted mid-stroke.
