“Writing that collected dust versus writing that resurrected the dead—there was no doubt about which I could get behind.”
Asja Bakić, Mars: Stories

“The rocks were beautiful, but with no one to throw them at, they too had eventually become unbearable. ”
Asja Bakić, Mars

“When I was six years old, I fell off the kitchen counter and landed on my right hand, breaking it. At the emergency room, I sat next to a little girl with a bandaged leg. She said she’d been playing with an ax and the blade had fallen right on her foot. I never complained again about pain. Pain became superfluous to me; it was reserved for others.”
Asja Bakić, Mars: Stories
