Quote by Hunter Shea

“He tried to scream, but nothing would come out. All he wanted to be was home, safe with his ma and daddy. Hot tears streaked down his grime-covered cheeks. The candle in his hand sputtered out, and the darkness took him into its cold and empty embrace.”

I was never sure if he meant it in the traditional sense or if he was referring to the prodigious amount of blood we'd shed together.”
