Death Quote by Joseph McElroy
““Did some deaths go on hurting? were there winds below the sea that blew as fast as all other winds but blew through you as you turned end over end slowly enough so if the ledges and cracks down there wanted to move over to make room for you, you'd get in there and go so deep you'd never stop falling.””
