Elementary school Quote by Ha Jin

“Where should he go? He wanted to find a building out of which he could jump and kill himself. How about the temple? No, it only had two stories. Too low. How about the elementary school? No, his ghost might frighten the children if he died there, and people would condemn him.” quote by Ha Jin — Download Open image
