Silence Quote by Anne Greenwood Brown

“I squirmed in my hiding spot. Do something, people,” I urged. Say something . The silence dragged on. I imagined my first report to Maris. “We have underestimated our enemy. They are lethal. We are in serious danger of the Hancocks boring us to death. Abort, abort, abort.” quote by Anne Greenwood Brown
