Quotes from Sarah Willis

Last night I fell asleep quickly, into a place beyond sleep, deep and silent, the place I imagine caterpillars go to turn into butterflies.

It is so hot that even with the windows open, I am suffocating. I kept a frog in a box once. The box had a lid so he wouldn't jump out. It was during a summer like this. When everyone moves slowly because the air is too thick to breathe. I forgot about the frog for a few days. It was dead by the time I remembered. Tonight, as I lie in bed, I start to cry because I once killed a frog. It's just a little cry, and I stop myself quickly.

Si mi madre hubiera estado aquí, les habría dicho de entrada que somos ateos. Pero en esto, mi padre se parece a mí; si no es preciso, de ciertas cosas preferimos no hablar".
