Quotes by Sofie Laguna (?)

“...I couldn't see anything. There was nothing in me, and nothing outside of me... I had no reason.”
― Sofie Laguna

“Just as I was about to close my eyes I saw a faint line connecting the shadows, like string you take into a forest so you don’t lose your way. Everything in the room was joined by one line; the frame to the curtain, the coil to the crack, the belt to the shoe. I closed my eyes and in the vision behind the skin of my lids I saw the line stretch way out to sea, like cobweb blown by the wind, further and further; it crossed the Pacific until the Pacific became the Indian and it found Robby in his ship. It touched his shoulder and moved across the sleeve of his shirt and up to his eyes and across the top of his head and then the line went to all the other men on the ship; then all the way back to me. Everyone was joined.”

“I didn’t belong to myself anymore. I had no mouth or eyes or thoughts. I didn’t need anything to change or be different... The hole inside me was filled... and I was a part of things that couldn’t be seen. I don’t know how long I was there. There was no time.”
― Sofie Laguna, The Choke
