This be OK?' I asked, innocently. 'You want me to have no skin left?' You rolled your eyes. Actually, don't answer that one.

You won't be able to hurt me, or touch me.
Lucy Christopher
Image
Doesn't that hurt? I said. Yep. How do you keep them in there? I'm stubborn. You grinned. Stubborn as a waddywood. And anyway, pain means it's healing. Not always.

It was so big, that view. I’ll never remember it properly. How can anyone remember something that big? I don’t think people’s brains are designed for memories like that. They’re designed for things like phone numbers, or the color of someone’s hair. Not hugeness.

I remember that feeling of skin. It's strange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingers still tingle with it.

Image
You smiled then, and your whole face changed with it. It kind of lit up, like there were sunbeams coming from inside you.
Lucy Christopher
Image
You looked at me, your eyes huge. You we're like a dog then, waiting for me to throw you a bone . . . waiting for something I could never give you.
Lucy Christopher
Image
I thought you wanted to catch a camel, you tried again. No. I want to. Well, you go then. You laughed. I want your beautiful face where I can see it

The people we care for aren't always the one we should

Far, far away something made a single ghostly howl, like a banshee in the dark.
Lucy Christopher
Image
I want you to see that the person I glimpsed running beside the camel, running to save my life, is the person you can choose to be.
Lucy Christopher
Image
You're right, he's a killer, you said. A rooster with some serious issues.
Lucy Christopher
Image
How would she find her herd? How would she find you?
Lucy Christopher
Image
Your beautiful mouth was moving like a caterpillar. I reached out and tried to catch it.
Lucy Christopher
Image
The deep blue of your eyes had secrets. I wanted them.
Lucy Christopher
Image
And it's hard to hate someone once you understand them.

It sounded weird to hear you talk so much normally you only said a few words at a time. I'd never imagined that you'd have a story, too. Until that moment, you were just the kidnapper. You didn't have reasons for anything. You were stupid and evil and mentally ill. That was all. When you started talking, you started changing.
Lucy Christopher
Image
I could hear you, talking to the daffodils and tulips, whispering to the fairies that lived inside their petals. Each separate flower had a different family inside it.
Lucy Christopher
Image
Everyone wanted answers I wasn't ready to give.

When the darkness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.
Lucy Christopher
Image
I love you, you said, simple as anything.
