Quotes by J.L. Flores (?)

“La diosa era alta, de cabellos negros y ojos rasgados. Vestía de noche, con estrellas sobre su traje. Cada una contenía un mundo, miles de historias colgaban de ellas, miles de suspiros y todos aquellos regalos que había recibido de los mortales durante siglos. Estábamos de regreso en el origen.”
― J.L. Flores, El mago del desierto
