Years after I began my journey to recovery, I told a version of the story you’ve just read to my then-partner, as we sat on a bench overlooking London’s Parliament Hill. It took a long time. The sun was just beginning to go down; it hovered over the edge of the trees as if snagged on the branches, and when I looked over I could see tears in his eyes.

“Someone died in that place,” I said quietly, although I didn’t really know what “place” I was referring to. Somewhere ineffable, I suppose; that dark, wretched wasteland called The Past.

“I suppose someone did,” he replied, and there was pause. “But you know, someone else was saved.”

On the way to the Tube station, we stopped for a drink. The pub was playing a Beatles CD, and I remember “Blackbird” beginning as we took our seats. One of the lyrics had a curious relevance: “Take these broken wings and learn to fly.”
