Purple and red droplets of varying sizes sit on a black surface. The title 'Gone For Good' in white chalk is written in the centre, one word above the next. The lettering is smudged. Underneath in small purple capitals is the tagline 'Nothing can kill the truth...'. Stretching across the bottom edge of the image is the author, Sarah Crossan's name in bold white font. In the largest coloured drops we can see images, a red-haired girl running, trees in a forest, a fingerprint and a campfire, they are all in soft focus, vague, slightly hidden from view by reflections in the liquid.
#GoneForGood by #SarahCrossan is an unputdownable mystery. Sent to a brutal camp where rebellious & troubled teens are rehabilitated, Connie becomes obsessed with Belle, who recently vanished. Did she escape? Is she dead? Who is lying?

📚 Loin de tout pathos, le #roman bouleverse par sa dignité et sa retenue. Ce n’est pas seulement une histoire d’amour, mais le récit d’un peuple brisé, d’une mémoire collective et d’une résistance silencieuse.

This ink is similar to Wearingeul's Tsukuyomi, just a little drier. Not the best with this nib, fine with others.

beyond the wall of now, tomorrow is waiting. its light is longing to find you; look for its glow in the corner you had forgotten. beyond the cold brick of today tomorrow knows better. it is waffles and blackberries, tea and buttered cake, it is a robin on your windowsill his puffed red belly striving for song. beyond the hard silence of here, tomorrow is beckoning. it is an unexpected love letter. it is a long kiss. it is not crying not always crying. because tomorrow is beautiful. tomorrow is beautiful.
