Breath Quote by Sam Austin

“Hot breath drowns me in blood and rancid flesh. My mouth gapes in silent pain, I can’t breathe, and my ribs are bent to the edge of breaking. A hand reaches out, and blindly I take it, it closes desperately over mine as if that alone will take the pain away.” quote by Sam Austin
