Bret Easton Ellis
but I don't want to wear a condom because I don't feel anything, and she says calmly... glaring at me,If you don't use one you're not going to feel anything anyway.
Bret Easton Ellis
The snowy owl has eyes that look just like mine, especially when it widens them. And while I stand there, staring at it, lowering my sunglasses, something unspoken passes between me and the bird - there's this weird kind of tension, a bizarre pressure, that fuels the following, which starts, happens, ends, very quickly.
