Dreams Quote by Laini Taylor

““As bad as the dream was - and it was bad - the aftermath was worse, because she was conscious but still powerless. The terror - the terror, the terror - lingered, and there was something else. It came with the dream, every time, and did't recede with it but stayed like something a tide had washed in. Something awful - a rank leviathan corpse left to rot on the shore of her mind. It was remorse. But god, that was too bloodless a word for it. This feeling the dream left her with, it was knives of panic and horror resting bright atop a red and meaty wound-fester of guilt.””

It was a bad bed in a cheap motel, and the flop jarred her teeth. "Ow," she said without conviction. "Hey. You're turn isn't even half up." "I know. I…

As far back as she could remember, a phantom life had mocked her with its impenetrable “something else,” but now it was the opposite.
