Unreal Unearth by Hozier Reading Challenge - hosted by geetswrites

ABSTRACT (PSYCHOPOMP): A narrative told in flashbacks OR a book exploring compassion thematically.
"the speed that you moved, the screech of the cars / the creature still moving, that slowed in your arms / the fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant / your tear caught the light, the earth from a distance."
