1 " She was the type of bitch who looked for three things in a man. Good looks. Good reputation. And per$onality. "
― Reem Aquil , This Infinite Moment
2 " It was like I was talking to a man with a gun to his head.It was like he was already dead. Like his fate was set in stone. Like the trigger was already pulled. And he was the pause that came right before 'it's too late'. The pause that takes a small infinity, looked down upon dead stars, floating around in the dead unforgiving sky. The pause that was written in stars a million years ago. Could the shot echo in space? Did this moment find it's way into a vortex? Were the stars looking down on a field of the dead? A graveyard? Are we not significant? Did anything we do matter? "
3 " The devil doesn't smile, it grins. And I did. "
4 " you're fucking holding the map upside down!""Don't yell at me! As of 2 seconds ago you were trashed and useless""even trashed I would know if I was holding a map upside down or not""i'm so sorry Hunter are you gonna bite my ass again?""turn around!""WOULD YOU STOP BICKERING!! "
5 " who changes in front of a window?!" he growls."Do not take that tone with me, this is not my fault!" I poke at hunter's chest after every word. "OW!" I squeal and recoil away from him, bumping into Felix on my other side. He fucking bit me! He bit my finger!Felix sighs loudly and bodily moves me to the other side of him, so i'm not walking next to Hunter anymore. "I'll bite your nose off!" I threaten him from around Felix."I thought we only did that in the bedroom" Hunter threw back innocently. "
6 " There is no such thing as good or bad. There's no black and white. There's black, white, and every color in between. You're like a rainbow ...and some people are just colorblind. "
7 " So there's this theory about the multiverse," Hunter starts in sad reverence. His voice was of a morbidly curious scientist. "that says that we're just one copy of ourselves. What if we're just figments of a dying universe? All of this could have already happened. We could have crashed and burned ten times over. But what if there was a multiverse that had a copy of you, that met a copy of me, and they didn't quite have this much...affliction. What if there was another Alex, who didn't have torment thundering down her eyes every time I looked at her. What if we already lived our *'and we lived'*?" he stops to look at me. *Really* look at me, and I could have been seeing the whole universe in his eyes."What if it was as simple as *'hey'*? "
8 " I impulsively dialed his number, but it didn't register that i'd actually talk to him after all these months. I mean what does one say to an estranged father? Hey sperm donor, how's it going in Ireland? Do they cash more for prostitutes? "
9 " I was fine before them. But having knowing them, I can't go back to my life like this. It doesn't compare. A man who got used to gold thrones can't go back to sitting on plastic chairs. "
10 " They'd label you poison, and i'd still drink you whole "
