Elbows Quote by Lucy Christopher

“Who says I'm not Superman?" You were looking at me with one eye closed against the sun. I shrugged "You would have recued me by now if you were Superman." I said quietly. "Who says I haven't?

That would give me multiple personalities." And you don't have them already?”

“You carried it in your hand like it was the most precious thing. It reminded me of what I used to be like, when I lived out here... It reminded me of finding something wild and knowing it was important somehow, to something.” You drew another circle over your knee, then filled it in with specks. “It made me realize…
