“ These felt very much like last moments. ”
Scars are not injuries, Tanner Sack. A scar is a healing. After injury, a scar is what makes you whole.
~ China Miéville
The dead are way more organized than the living.
In time, in time they tell me, I'll not feel so bad. I don't want time to heal me. There's a reason I'm like this.I want time to set me ugly and knotted with loss of you, marking me. I won't smooth you away.I can't say goodbye.
Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd.
