From my writing...

"I have always had a vague fear that life is happening elsewhere."

"The list of her lovers is too long to type and the implications are too many."

“In her writings, she despises her fellow man and woman for representing what she had lost.”

“She could make excuses to keep the fantasy intact.”

“...she gave him all the love she could not give herself. She loved him because he was the embodiment of those attributes she wanted for herself...”

“The only time she felt excited or happy was when she had had a drink because then anything might happen. That feeling of insecurity became exciting.”

“But nothing could touch her because there was nothing to touch.”
