“Lately, I have been having nightmares, where I'm cut into so many pieces that there isn't enough of me to be put back together.”

“I have been smashed and put back together so many times nothing works right. Nothing is where it should be, heavy thumping in my shoulder where my heart now beats.”

“Reece keeps trying to put the pieces back together without having any idea what’s causing me to break.”

“I was ripped out of the water and thrown and smashed into a thousand pieces that I can't put back together. I don't know where they go. And there are so many missing that the ones that are left don't fit together anymore. I think I'll stay in pieces. I can shift them, rearrange, depending on the day, depending on what I need to be.”

“Sad, that lives can be shattered, into so many pieces that they can never be put back together, the the relentless force of love. Irreparable.”

“I have this recurring nightmare where I'm lost in a strange forest, and my only hope is your sense of direction. Enough to give a fellow the sweats, it is.”
