his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were

above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down--from high flat temples--in a point on
his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond Satan. — Dashiell Hammett

Today I might lose both of them. I try to imagine a world where both Gale's and Peeta's voices have ceased. Hands stilled. Eyes unblinking.
