The Apology After Twenty Years

Do you write to him?

The Apology After Twenty Years

At school, you joined in when a boy was mocked every day. You found him online. He seems happy and has never contacted you. An apology might help him, or it might ask him to carry your guilt again.

Do you write to him?

Then ask

  • What name would you search for tonight?
  • How many times have you drafted the message in your head?
  • Why have you not sent it?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
