Are people drawn to each other because of the stories they carry inside? At the library I couldn’t help but notice which patrons checked out the same books.

I noticed them all: the ones who’d lost their way, the ones who’d lived their lives in ashes, the ones who had to prove themselves, the ones who, like me, had lost the ability to feel.
