Somethingโs died in me,โ she goes. โIt took a long time for it to do it, but itโs dead. Youโve killed something, just like youโd took an axe to it. Everything is dirt now.
Raymond CarverMy heart is broken,โ she goes. โItโs turned to a piece of stone. Iโm no good. Thatโs whatโs as bad as anything, that Iโm no good anymore.
