" Small-business taxes can be a bitch around here. Before you jump, call that number.” “I’m not feeling froggy.” That might’ve been a lie. What was I if I wasn’t in the life? A man possessed of my temperament doesn’t hang up his guns and pitch hay forever. He gets buried with bandoliers across his chest. "

― Laird Barron , Blood Standard (Isaiah Coleridge, #1)
