The fogArrival

“Who broke first on sleep — and how did you know?”

Why this question

The sentence that stopped halfway. The argument about nothing at 4 a.m. The wrong cupboard opened with total conviction.

Where it leads

One day this will be a funny story. Draft the funny version now, while the evidence is fresh.

If you’re parenting solo

If you were the only one on the rota: how did you know when you'd hit the edge, and what got you through that night?

More from The fog

“What did you find yourself searching for at 4 a.m.?”

“What was the small mercy that got you through?”

“Describe the first night at home, with nobody official down the corridor.”
