Sorry to burst your bubble, but that changes nothing. Anytime you say anything, I think about sex. Anytime I see you, I think about sex.
Why the hell would anyone be eating at the Grease Trap? I’ve seen flies die from buzzing by that place. Andrea crossed her arms. Oh, I don’t know, probably because your career just ended and you are d...
It’s our turf, the younger woman barked.Actually it’s my turf.The thugs spun to me.Let’s see . . . You’re hassling people in my territory, so you owe me a fee. A couple of fingers ought to do it. Do w...
It’s the way of our universe. A never-ending chain of cannibalism: the stronger prey on the weaker only to become prey in return. The only way to win the game is to not play.
It’s this beautiful thing you can never reach. No matter what you do, you’ll never touch it. You can only look and imagine what it would be like to hold it.
I’d believed him. He was supposed to be different, to be more. He’d made me hope for things I didn’t think I’d ever get. When hope broke, it hurt. Mine was a very big, very desperate hope, and it hurt...
I’d give him a cup of coffee and a big helping of a knuckle sandwich. Generosity was a virtue and I was in the mood to be extremely virtuous.
I’m curious, what are you picturing exactly? Augustine asked. A crisscrossing pattern of red laser beams and ferrets in harnesses slithering through it like ninjas?
I’m sorry I wasn’t there.I’m not upset that you weren’t there. I was doing my job. I don’t blame you for anything, Connor. Except not telling me that you had a lead. That wasn’t cool. I lowered my voi...
Love makes you helpless, Daniela said. You think about the object of your affection all the time. Your happiness or misery depends on another person’s mood. You give up all power over yourself, hand i...
I’m your best bet to keep Roland from taking over.Yes.Young, in need of being taught.Evdokia crossed her arms. Yes.Easily manipulated? Emotionally compromised? Are these my best qualities?Evdokia thre...
Why the rifle? Everybody knows you can’t shoot. Who were these everybodies and would they like to stand in front of me, preferably within ten feet, so I could discuss this issue in greater detail? I c...
Johns Hopkins, which was a trip I was doing my best to forget. We almost died, and while we were away, a local family we knew was murdered. Julie and Derek had handled it, but thinking about it still...
Just reflecting on the fact that when the Universe punches you in the teeth, it never just lets you fall down. It kicks you in the ribs a couple of times and dumps mud on your head.
Kate makes good sausage, Jim said.Six pairs of eyes stared at me. Thank you, Mr. Wonderful. Just what I needed.Oh yeah, Andrea snapped her fingers. The links? The ones we had the beginning of the mont...
Kate sat at her desk. Grendel sprawled by her feet, an enormous black monstrosity that had more in common with the hound of the Baskervilles than with any poodle I had ever seen.
Kate smirked.What?Your horse looks pink.So?If you paste some stars on her butt you'll be riding My Little Pony.Bugger off. I patted the mare's neck. Don't listen to her, Sugar. You are the cutest hors...
Kate, perhaps you need to explain to your significant other that he is in no position to give me orders. Last time I checked, his title was Beast Lord, which is a gentle euphemism for a man who strips...
Kate? Yes? I managed. It’s me, Julie. Are you dying? I could tell she desperately wanted a different answer. I love you. The expression on her face twisted something inside me. I looked from her to Cu...
