It’s said that the reason the elves and demons began their war is because of a broken alliance, he said, the world-weary damage to his face making him look wise. I’ve always found it to be true—that t...
It was starting to smell really good in here. And if I liked what it smelled like, then they were liking what they were smelling, and ah…that would be me.
If they could swing it, most parents visited during meals to try to make their child’s hospital room into a piece of the familiar by eating with them, and the kids—without exception—were too kind to t...
I'm going back! I shouted, standing to put some distance between us in case I was yanking her chain too hard and she came after me. I'll show him, I said, waving an arm. I'll sneak in. I'll steal his...
I will compensate all your one-inch, two-inch losses because I know how important every inch is to you aged, decrepit men.
I was standing in a line, balanced between reality and the ever-after. I could go either way. I wasn’t his yet. One day a week, I said, knees wobbling. I give you Newt’s mark, you give me my name, Al...

I want an expresso. Black. But give me the domestic blend. That Turkish crap gives me the runs for a week. - Jenks
I thought Trent should get over his pixy paranoia and admit he had an eerie attraction to them, like every other pure-blood elf I’d met. So he liked pixies. I liked double-crunch ice cream, but you di...
I suddenly realized that a bunch of my friends needed babysitters and vowed to start screening my calls.
I snorted, pulling myself in and already knowing what Jenks thought pixies did first best. And it wasn’t saving my ass like he told everyone.
I sniffed, wiping my eyes. Look at that, I muttered. The bastardmade me cry.Jenks’ wings made a cool spot on my neck. Want me to pixy him?No. But now I don’t have the chance of a ghost’s fart in a win...
