Children have always traveled, and because they are young and bright and full of contradictions, they haven’t always restricted their travel to the possible.

“We’re all puzzle boxes, skeleton and skin, soul and shadow.

“Nobody promised me a happy ending. They didn’t even promise me a happy existence.”
