Horror-fiction Quote by Riley Sager
““I think she's going to say something about Him. Most likely because of the nightmare, which lingers sticky on my skin like drying perspiration. I brace myself to hear her tell me that He's resurfaced, as I always knew He would. It doesn't matter that He's dead. That I gladly watched Him die.””
