1 " I remembered the mountain lion, who smelled the blood and devoured its already deceased prey. It had looked at me longingly, licking its lips. We knew in time I would be his next snack. "
― E.K. Barnes , When the Divine Are Dead
2 " Nobody goes trick-or-treating anymore. The monsters have gotten too real. "
3 " I know middle school is supposed to suck, but nobody warned me that my best friend would turn into a murderer. "
4 " I guess the years aren't done stealing good people away from us. Soon, only the bad will remain. "
5 " Sometimes we need a change in perspective. "
6 " The blood of Christ. More like the blood of children. "
7 " I guess he didn't know. I guess he didn't know that good people die when bad things happen to them. The rest of us don't get the luxury of mercy. "
8 " I didn't dare move. Period. That's how it was in the RV. That's how it was in my room nine years later. That's how I survived. That's how I would continue to survive. "
