Shannen Greene
“How did he die?
The question pushes itself whilst in my mind. I want to ask her. I want to ask her so, so bad. Ottie’s mention of it in the dream: the fragments of my cognitively-created film torture me while my mother brings up Cace, over, and over, and over again, yet never fully reaching a consensus about the whole topic. What is she trying to entail? What is she thinking?
I want to ask her the question.
But don’t you already know the answer?”
― Shannen Greene, Similitude

“And then in my thirties, I realised that everyone around me was burdened by grief, fear, pain, loneliness.”
― Alice Slater, Let the Bad Times Roll
