And I put my hand on her arm to stop her rowing. Aaron’s Noise roars up in red and black. The current takes us on.“ I’m sorry! ” I cry as the river takes us away, my words ragged things torn from me, my chest pulled so tight I can’t barely breathe. “I’m sorry, Manchee! ”?”“Manchee! ” I scream. Aaron brings his free hand towards my dog.“ M A N C H E E! ”?” And Aaron wrenches his arms and there’s a CRACK and a scream and a cut-off yelp that tears my heart in two forever and forever. And the pain is too much it’s too much it’s too much and my hands are on my head and I’m rearing back and my mouth is open in a never-ending wordless wail of all the blackness that’s inside of me. Patrick Ness
About This Quote

Aaron and I were rowing on the river in the moonlight. The current was strong, but Aaron had managed to keep us afloat. I had my hand on Aaron’s arm to keep him upright, when I felt his arm jerk. Instantly, he pulled his other arm back and then CRACK.

There was a cut-off yelp and Aaron fell backwards into the water. And the pain was too much it was too much it was too much and my body was shaking and my chest was tearing open in a never-ending wordless wail of all the blackness that’s inside of me.
