My childhood was marked by the great fear of nuclear holocaust. We practiced our Civil Defense Drills, lining up in hallways, curled to the floor, but we knew we'd die or, worse, survive only to suffer radiation and slow death.
Julianna Baggott
I feel too much. It's like being drummed to death from within. You know?
Julianna Baggott
