“ Tell yourself you’re dead, the way Matt does, so the past can’t hurt you. ”
My English teacher said that a writer is the worst judge of his own work.
~ Ilsa J. Bick
Everybody breaks sooner or later, Bob. Anyone can drown. Sometimes you see it. Most often, youdon’t because the body protects and the skin hides, so drowning doesn’t look like drowning and somepeople scar so nicely. Take it from an expert.
What you couldn't see and only imagined was always scarier than what was real.
You want to brawl. You want to fight. Fighting tricks you into believing you can change the past, even when the past is dead and gone and all of it ashes.
