Woom

"I'm not sure. I believe pain lingers. Do I believe in spirits? In the supernatural? Probably not."

"Back to my original point," he said, "I don't believe in ghosts. But I do think places, like this motel room, I think they hold on to bad things, the way people hold on to memories. Grief. Pain. Disease. Addiction. I think when you enter a place that's absorbed enough bad things, it pukes them out at you. It drenches you in them. So a relatively innocuous room, like this one, will appear evil. Because bad things happened here

when the love is unbalanced, when someone loves the other one more... that puts a lot of pressure on the one holding the power."

The world doesn't need another rape story, you know?

You should always listen to that voice when something doesn't feel right. Always look out for the red flags. Stop worrying about being nice, about making a scene.
