“At my sister's third grace orientation, there was a shooting... If I had gone, maybe I would've been able to save them.”
Brielle Orama, Kaylor Fogie

Susan L. Marshall
“I feel the searing, burning of my hands,
caught alight by the red-tipped fire.
Silent I am, mesmerised by the flames
that have now caught me in their trap.

Fire is bad.
Fire takes people away.

Claire’s words are accurate.
I am in a burning dream world.
One that I may never leave.
My hands and arms are now alight
and my eyes are stinging with tears.”
Susan L. Marshall, All the Hope We Carry
