Used Typewriter Quote by Riley Sager
““Y0U SH0ULDN’T BE ALIVE. Y0U SH0ULD’VE DIED IN THAT CABIN. IT WAS Y0UR DESTINY T0 BE SACRIFICED.” Whoever wrote it had used a typewriter. The keys had been struck so hard that, on the page, the letters looked like burn marks seared into leather. Every ‘o’ was actually a zero, meaning that key was likely broken.””
