The Twisted Tree

by Rachel Burge

Brian takes out a book and cracks open the spine. Anyone who does that is not a good person as far as I’m concerned. It’s up there with cruelty to kittens and nose-picking in public.

This made me laugh hahah

Pain like that stays with you; it seeps out of your pores and into the fibres of your clothes, and nothing can remove the stain of a soul.

‘A person who has a poor start in life can still weave a good tapestry, if they make the right choices.’
