“When did we become such terrible people?””Maybe we’ve always been terrible.”

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

June 25, 2023 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

Other nights, when he thought I was already dreaming, he slid out of bed, took his coat and shoes, and disappeared into the dark outside. I never asked where he went, worried he wouldn’t ask me to follow. ― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains “Do you blame Shakespeare for any of it?” The question is so unlikely, so nonsensical coming from such a sensible man, that I can’t suppress a smile. “I blame him for all of it.”― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains […]

She Has a Blow Hole!
