Description:
Safety, as Lyney has come to understand it, is a bit of a strange thing.
In all his earliest memories, of days spent without food, nights spent against street corners, and having nothing to his name but the feeling of his sister’s hand around his, ‘safe’ had been a feeling whose definition had needed to be constantly changed if he’d wanted to have any hopes of actually experiencing it.
