There were tiny stars behind my eyelids, a whole galaxy of tiny, spinning stars.
Lucy Christopher
It happened like this. I was stolen from an airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Taken to sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him. This is my story. A letter from nowhere.

But what else can I do, other than to plead with you like this? Other than to write down my story, our story, to show you that what you've done . . . to make you realize that what you did wasn't fair, wasn't right.
Lucy Christopher
When the darkness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.
Lucy Christopher
Where are you going? I asked. The middle of nowhere. I thought this was it. Nah. You shook your head. This is just the edge.

Lucy Christopher
Everyone wanted answers I wasn't ready to give.
Lucy Christopher
I was surprised at her gentleness, her willingness to give in.
Lucy Christopher
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
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
It was like I’d stepped out into an afterlife. Only there were no angels.
Lucy Christopher
Your beautiful mouth was moving like a caterpillar. I reached out and tried to catch it.
Lucy Christopher
I didn’t look back, but I knew you were still watching. It probably sounds weird, but I could just feel it. The hairs on my neck bristled when you blinked.
Lucy Christopher
Far, far away something made a single ghostly howl, like a banshee in the dark.
Lucy Christopher
You're right, he's a killer, you said. A rooster with some serious issues.
