Quotes by Ryan W. Bradley (?)

“Maybe she'll bring him lunch, like she used to. Surprise him with fresh steak or ribs. Or she'll keep driving to places where there is no development, no dirt to move. She will find a glacier, where her skin can adopt the pale blue of the ice, still hard, refusing to melt for anyone or anything.”
― Ryan W. Bradley, Nothing but the Dead and Dying
