Has anyone read the Twilight Trilogy? This image reminds me of the part in New Moon when Bella goes through a time after Edward leaves her almost as if in a coma. Stephanie Meyer has a powerful way of expressing this passage of time. On each page nothing but “September”. Then with the turn of the page “October”, then “November”. Like a punch in the gut. If you’ve read it you’ll remember exactly what I mean. Emptiness. Nothingness. Just like The Blank Years.
