Mara tells stories

Part 14

Chapter 11

"I didn’t know what would come that day, and had I known, I would have taken a sick leave from work to avoid it."

"I saw you sitting underneath the roof overgrown with jasmine the first time, the rain pouring down. You'd called me without knowing, and I wondered if I should fulfill your wish"

Chapter 10

Part 13

"I didn't know what I'd expected when I came to this world, but meeting Taniwa was more than I'd ever hoped for. That she would take me, a stranger, in to live with her made me feel cared for for the first time in my life. I didn't want to destroy that by showing her what I really felt about her"

"I couldn't stay at home, not now when the Snatchers had tried to get to me. But where would I go? And how could I find someone who would love me enough for them to stop chasing me?"
