“I think about Sam sometimes now and I realize that he is walking around with a fake set of memories about our time together. Our time together did not exist. I was not spending it with him.”
Helen Slavin

“The past is where we should not be.”
Helen Slavin, The Extra Large Medium

“Hail fellow well meet on the highway to madness. Madness is a small town very far away. Most of us, at some point, find we probably could walk there. Others have a road cave in and dump them there.”
Helen Slavin, The Extra Large Medium
