“Elliot fell back, with his arms open, and landed on the field with a summersault. "What better place to sleep than on a perfect flower field?"
Paulo´s nose crinkled. "I wouldn´t agree with you."
"Wow, we really do come from different worlds." Elliot said.

(From the book "Writer´s Karma")”
Julia Leilani, Writer´s Karma

“Bunny crawls on hands and feet into the bathroom. Her limbs bend at acute angles as her writhing jaw juts forward […] Bunny crawls closer. Rose can just make out her form in the near-darkness. Bunny’s jaw snaps as if dislocating. Rose’s eyes trace the prominent bumps on Bunny’s back – vertebrae, which look disturbingly close to slicing her anorexic back.”
S.E. Tolsen, Bunny
