1 " Grimm always used rabbits, on account of a grudge he had with the Easter Bunny.

6 " Never saw a point in showing up for jury duty. I already know I’m going to vote guilty.” Ari’s mouth made a tiny O, and she put her hand to her heart. “What about justice?” “It is justice. Whoever they are, they’re guilty of making me show up for jury duty. "

10 " The village was run-down, stank of butcher blood, and was filled with ravenous creatures that would rip your throat out for a snack. All of that I could deal with. The thing that made it truly abysmal was that it was in New Jersey. "
