Empty shell Quote by Todd Mitchell
““There's just this empty shell, pretending to be human." "That's not true." I wished she could see herself the way I saw her- not some cold, distant model, but the girl who'd IM'd me and kept me from being alone. You're the most sincere, passionate, real person I've ever met." "I don't think that person exists anymore" "She does," I said. "I'm talking to her””
