Spit Quote by Rachel Hawkins
““You were a very confusing object for the Itineris to digest. So it held you for a bit. You’re quite fortunate it eventually decided to spit you out.” The words “digest” and “spit” were more than a little unsettling. “Okay,” I finally said. “That’s um, really awful to know. But thanks for telling me.” He shrugged. “It was nothing.””
