Something Softer Quotes

“The world has gone silent and black and
white, like a 1920s film, and the subtitles say
someone is screaming. I thought I was on
the train, but no, I'm tied to the tracks. I
thought there was a villain, but no, I tied
myself here. I thought the ropes must be
tight, but no, I could get up, I could go.
The train bears down, and I thought I
would save myself, but no -

the subtitles say someone is screaming.

But my mouth is open, and

nothing

is coming

out.”
― Kristina Mahr, Something Softer
