Terrible Things (2021)

Claire J. Loy: The Wanderer

Quotes 

• The Wanderer : I use to think it was cruel. When a person was taken young. Now I see babies born and the take their first breath and they taste ash... And their skin? Their skin burns and cracks in the air. And after another day in hiding, chocking... Starving. They beg you to hear that story about birdsong. Not about fairies and unicorns, no. The one's about butterflies. The one about a little girl and boy who rolled down the hill in the sunshine, outside, laughing. "Mammy, will you tell me what it was like? Mammy, tell me what the world was like before it hated us."
