Martin Gordon doesn’t go back there anymore. Doesn’t see the point. It’s his business, not mine or yours. It’s his trauma, nobody else lived it.

For years, Martin acceded to each and every question about the darkest chapter of his existence, be they from a journalist or a random taxi man. He kept going back there. Kept retelling and reliving his trauma. Until one day, he thought, no. No more.
