I bought this used copy of Stephen King‘s Misery years ago, and I haven’t gotten around to reading it until now. Sacrilege, I know. I had never read the book, only seen the movie. Spoiler alert: the book is obviously better.

I get to pages 162 and 163, a dark night of the soul scene, and I find this leaf pressed between the pages. It’s autumn and my yard is full of similar leaves. Not sure how thi

Quotes by Diana Rodriguez Wallach (?)

“There are moments in your life when you know everything is about to change. Time isn't whizzing by, your mind isn't in a blur, you're in it, living it, and you know, consciously, that your world will never be the same again. You will never be the same again.”
― Diana Rodriguez Wallach, Proof of Lies

“Life was
always too short. If you miscarry a baby, you wish you could have at least
held him. If you rock your daughter to sleep before she passes, you wish
you could have seen her first day of school. If you lose your son after
graduation, you wish you could have gotten to dance at his wedding. If your
daughter dies as a young woman, you wish you could have gotten to meet
your grandkids. And on and on and on it goes. They were always too
young.”
― Diana Rodriguez Wallach, Small Town Monsters
