S.E.Hinton

First things first.

like a dog pack about to be set loose.

turn him into a hood

hollering his head off,

fins and tails

all those little animals waiting around to belong to somebody

I was so scared I dropped my head down on the counter and cried for the first time I could remember.

I looked all around. There wasn’t any colors anywhere.

I was in a glass bubble and everyone else was outside it and I’d be alone like that for the rest of my life.

you just make up your mind and work like hell till you get there.
