“But I don’t know if I love him. I just hate him less
than everyone else...”
Megan Howell, Softie: Stories

“Before I was born, I tried to kill myself. My dad told me how, according to the social worker who’d taken me, I’d wrapped myself up in my birth mom’s umbilical cord as a baby so that I almost choked to death.”
Megan Howell, Softie: Stories

“So unfair: the people who hated me most were always the ones who were hard to hate back.”
Megan Howell, Softie: Stories

“Even when I was beautiful, I’d gotten hurt. I think I just wanted to be miserable in a way that made me feel beautiful.”
Megan Howell, Softie: Stories

“Shame weighs Cherish down so heavily that she feels herself sinking all the way to hell.”
Megan Howell, Softie: Stories

“At twenty-three, she knows that people never cease being their parents’ children even after they’re grown.

That way they don’t have to risk the pain that comes with pulling smaller, more vulnerable people from their insides and into a dying planet.”
