One charming, and one..." She glances at me. "One was mysterious. But they were all damaged, you see. Something not right a.. Libba Bray

d96bf9f Atoms, in short, are very abundant. They are also fantastically durable. Because they are so long lived, atoms really get around. Every atom you possess has almost certainly passed through several stars and been part of millions of organisms on its way to becoming you.
