Everyone drinks blood. Blood is a word that means alive. You can do without almost anything: arms, legs, teeth, hope. But you can't do without blood. Lose even a little and you grow slow and stupid and not yourself at all. We are all of us beautiful and complicated vessels for carrying blood the way a bottle carries wine. I suppose you think there's no blood in your roast beef? Life eats life. Blood makes you move, makes you blush, makes the pulse pound in your brow when you see your love walking across a street toward you, makes your very thoughts fly through your brain. Blood is everything and everything is blood.","author":"Catherynne M.

Even numbers, odd numbers, multiples of 10. I count the ticks of the clock I count the tocks of the clock I count the lines between the lines on a sheet of paper. I count the broken beats of my heart I count my pulse and my blinks and the number of tries it takes to inhale enough oxygen for my lungs. I stay like this I stand like this I count like this until the feeling stops. Until the tears stop spilling, until my fists stop shaking, until my heart stops aching. There are never enough numbers.","author":"Tahereh Mafi","tags":["adam-kent","beats","blinks","broken","count","feeling","heart","inhal","juliette-ferrars","lines","lungs","mad","numbers","oxygen","paper","pulse","sad","shatter-me-series","stop","tahereh-mafi","tears","unravel-me"],"id":148601,"author_id":"Tahereh+Mafi"},{"text":"Sung Win smiled to himself, enjoying the tension across his shoulders and the way his pulse beat in his veins.
