Lauren DeStefano Quotes
When I Was Little, My Brother Drew An Image For Me On The Train Ride Home From The Academy. It Was A Map Of Internment, Only Instead Of The Real City, He'd Drawn A Castle For The Clock Tower. And The Buildings Were All Different Somehow. Mysterious. And Right At The Edge He Drew A Ladder That Went Down And Disappeared Into The Clouds. It Was The Most Spectacular Thing I'd Ever Seen, And Getting Ready For My Bath That Night, I Discovered It Had Fallen From A Hole On My Skirt Pocket. I Wanted To Go Out And Look For It, But My Mother Told Me The Sweepers Had Already Come. The Paper Would Be Collected With All The Other Forgotten-about Things And It Would Be Compressed And Recycled Into Something New.
I Looked For It The Next Day, Anyway, To No Avail. I Couldn't Believe Such A Wonderful Thing Could Be Destroyed So Simply. I Learned That It Could. Anything Could Be Destroyed.
