Kill Quote by Fiona Barton
““People say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. .But it doesn't. It breaks your bones, leaving everything splintered and held together with grubby bandages and yellowing sticky tape.Creaking along the fault lines. Fragile and exhausting to hold together. Sometimes you wish it had killed you.””
