I think I've been rather reasonable about this whole situation.How do you figure?They are still breathing, aren't they?
I survived. Had I hit my head on the wall when Rutger had thrown me, I could’ve died today. Right now I could be dead instead of sitting here in my office, twenty feet from my home. My mom could be in...
I stopped by the super for the new key, climbed to my apartment, and studied my new lock. Big, metal, and shiny. Not a scratch on it. Even the key itself had a bizarre groove carved into it, which mad...
I sat at a table in my shadowy kitchen, staring down a bottle of Boone's FarmHard Lemonade, when a magic fluctuation hit. My wards shivered and died, leaving my home stripped of its defenses. The TV f...
I reached over and squeezed Curran’s hand. Come on, you, me, a platter of barely seared meat, it will be great. If we see the navigators, we can make fun of the way they hold their forks.
I raged across the field, killing all before me. They ran when they saw me coming, and I chased them down, and killed them before they could take someone else's friend away from them.

I have no desire to dramatically unsheathe my hair weapons and end up with half of my hair sliced off and a giant bald spot.
I hated casinos. The lure of easy money brought out the worst in people. The air smelled of greed, disappointment, and desperation.
