Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our ve...
Granted, my perspective is different from that of nonwizards, but marching out into the woods, looking for a very large and very powerful creature by blasting out what you’re pretty sure are territori...
Granted, I think it would have been more fun to be Colossus than Shadowcat.
Good Lord, I'm regretting this now, I muttered. I have never - ever - smelled BO this bad in my . And I once had s'mores wit a Sasquatch.Hang out with him for awhile, Mort gasped. Eventually it's not...
God isn't about making good things happen to you,or bad things happen to you. He's all about making choice - exercising the gift of free will.
Finish that sentence, Raith, and we throw down, said Murphy in a calm, level voice.
Everyone stopped to blink at that for a second. I mean, come on. Impaled by a guided frozen turkey missile. Even by the standards of the quasi-immortal creatures of the night, that ain't something you...

Butters’s voice turned bitter. Them or us, choose a side? It’s not about taking sides, Karrin said. It’s about knowing yourself. About understanding why you make the choices you do. Once you know that...
Butters blinked and looked at Thomas. My God, he said. You’ve been shot. Thomas hooked a thumb at Butters. Check out Dr. Marcus Welby, MD, here. I’d have gone with Doogie Howser, maybe, I said. Split...
But you can't go around changing your definition of right and wrong (or smart and stupid) just because doing the wrong thing happens to be really convenient. Sometimes it isn't easy to be sane, smart,...
But that's just it. I ... I don't want to go. I don't want to see that... She glanced aside at Mouse and shuddered. Blood, like that. I don't remember what happened when you and Mother saved me from A...
