Chapter 255

• Delilah:
• I had my arm wrapped around myself as I walked outside, wanting to somehow manage to forget all of this.
• I pulled my shawl tighter around me. The breeze was gentle now. Clean. No blood in the wind, no screams underneath it. Whenever I closed my eyes, that was the only thing that I could see. The screams, the cries of pain, the howls, the anger, the rage. And that made it even worse, because I knew that it was over and yet it was not.
