Terrifying Quote by Jessica Marie Gilliland

“His voice was terrifying and seemed to scrape across my skin as if it were a tangible thing. Something inside me agreed, as if it were even possible to give something like that. I didn’t even really believe in a soul, but in that moment I could feel it writhing inside me.” quote by Jessica Marie Gilliland
