“The most monstrous thing about being afraid all the time is the way it can go on and on long after you have decided you can't bear it any longer. There is no way of stopping, and nobody seems to notice. I am terrified how well I can pretend. I feel as if it was spelt out in big letters right across my face.”
Janet McNeill, Maiden Dinosaur
