Stares Into Space

“Apple didn’t move when we entered. It was as if she didn’t know we were even there. She was just staring into blank space. What was that line by Elliot Smith? ‘Stares into space like a dead china doll?” It was like that. - Donya Marie (from City of Rain)

Full view & Details Donya Marie is a fictional character I illustrated from Pocholo Goitia's City of Rain.

“I feel like we’re all cursed, my barkadas and me,” she continued. “Like, as I said, we’re doomed to some terrible fate. I don’t know what we did to deserve this. But it’s as if we’re being shot down one by one like hunted ducks. And I feel that I’m next.” - Donya Marie (from City of Rain)
