I can‘t put my finger on why, exactly, but this quick read spoke to my soul this morning.

“Time drove down the street in her vintage Volkswagen Beetle, her best friend Gravity in the passenger seat. The top was down even though it was January. Their hair slapped their cheeks and got caught in the corners of their mouths and pulled against their scalps.”

saresmoore @LauraBeth Might be why I like it so much! I taste just a touch of some Neil Gaiman mythos flavor in there, too. 5y
saresmoore @LeahBergen Amen, sister! She‘s a real bitch. 5y
Suet624 @LauraBeth Jeepers! Really? I wish the one book I read of his had even an iota of this in it. 😀 5y

LauraBeth @Suet624 😂 I think I have a tendency to see some of my favorite writing in everything I read! 5y
