Quote by Cassandra Clare
He'd felt like a jack-o-lantern for the past few days, as if his guts had been yanked out with a fork and dumped in a heap while a grinning smile stayed plastered on his face.
Summary
The quote describes someone feeling hollow and empty - like a carved jack-o-lantern - despite wearing a forced smile. They may be cheerful externally, but internally they feel drained and inadequate, as if their insides have been removed and discarded. This imagery suggests a sense of emptiness or emotional exhaustion hidden beneath a façade of happiness.
