― R.J. Palacio, Pony

“I think I’ve found something. Was Deb wearing white trainers?”

“Yeah? Maybe? I can’t remember”

“Because I’m in the river and I think I’ve found one of Deb’s shoes. It is possible she may have drowned?”

“What?”

“Well, in films, when you find someone’s shoe on a riverbank, it’s usually because they’re dead.”

“Maybe she just kicked them off and went for a dip to cool off.”

“Where’s the other shoe, then?”

On her corpse obviously, according to my overactive imagination.
“Send me picture of the shoe, maybe. I’m sure it’s fine, Rodney”

I look down at the photo Rodney sent over to me “Oh, for Christ’s sake.” I hit dial.

They couldn’t comprehend what it was like to be too poor to afford element resistant garb or better tools to hunt or hire protection because if you could afford all of that you wouldn’t need to go out into the forest in the first place.

No, Natalia didn’t need a taste of the commoner’s life. What she wanted, what she’d always wanted, was the security of wealth. For some reason people who possessed such desires always seemed villainous. Never was such a label applied to those who had wealth and only remembered on occasion that others didn’t have it.”
