You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into the river with pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you've got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling, no matter how badly you think you want to fall.
