Bubble-gum angels swooped from top margins, or scraped their wings between teeming paragraphs. Maidens with golden hair dripped sea-blue tears into the books spine. Grape-colored whales spouted blood...
Basically what we have here is a dreamer. Somebody out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly
Avea cate un citat pentru fiecare lucru care i se intampla si in felul acesta evada din viata reala.
