Coffin Quote by Lauren Henderson
““ Maybe I’m dead. The thought is not as scary as it probably should be. I’m so calm, so comfortable. The coffin lining is soft beneath me, and it’s fairly roomy; I’m touching the side with my right shoulder, but that’s okay. I don’t feel cramped. Of course, it’s pitch-black, but that’s strangely comforting. I roll over and realize there’s a pillow under my head. How very nice of them to put a pillow in my coffin. Really thoughtful. ””
