I'm behind you. I spun to see Derek. I can't win, he said. You're as skittish as a kitten.
I saw you fall.The fall isn’t the problem. It’s the sudden stop at the end. Avoid that and… He waved his hands down his body. Apparently, you can survive.That’s not…You can’t…Did I mention the insanel...
Even when I encountered racism outside Salmon Creek, it usually rolled off me. The worst of it often came from rednecks whipping past in rusted pickups. I looked at them and I looked at me-class leade...
Don't apologize.I wasn't-Not in words, but it was clear from your tone. Apology suggests that you are keeping me from doing what I need to do, which implies I am somehow powerless to do otherwise. It'...
And unless I’m remembering it wrong, mermaids don’t sing and sirens don’t swim.Ariel sang in , Corey said.Sam came over to join us. Do I even want to know why you remember her name?Mermaids and sirens...
And the bad guys love to pick on the defenseless necromancer. This time, though, I swear I won’t get kidnapped or possessed. ~Jaime Vegas

There is no freedom from the prison of the mind.

Stopping to whine is only going to get us nabbed by the cops when that bastard calls 911.I wasn’t whining, I said.Close enough.
So why was his stomach tightening and twisting with every step up those stairs? Because hope was a dangerous thing. It said the failure would be his own fault alone.
She's my friend.Good for you.Just my luck, I said. Finally meet my twin brother and, turns out, he's an ass.
She came for the deer, I whispered. Seeing the cougar from another angle, I noticed her hanging teats. She’s lactating, which means she has cubs close by. The ATVs have probably been scaring away the...
Nothing screws up a séance like the appearance of a real ghost. ~Jaime Vegas
I’m not a shrink. Never been to one. Shot a couple. Don’t think that counts.
