Full short story from Matthew LeDrew, copyright 2025. "Three Authors." Content warning: Sex, sex work.

When I get asked what made my point of view, one story that pops into mind, unbidden, about an early time working with the police.

I had quite a visceral reaction to the article The Hour of our Death by Phillipe Aries (pages 40-48 of Death, Mourning, and Burial). I suppose its in the nature of reading the opinions of others, especially on a subject both as universal and dividing as death, that one will come across an opinion that one does not side with.
