Once, the belief that his love would heal all the wounds, and finally make me feel safe, had been true. True, and a lie. Love is real, and false, even true love. Because love alone cannot keep you saf...
Oh, ma petite, you are growing gargantuan.I looked at him and it was not a friendly look. Never tease a woman about her weight, Jean-Claude. At least not an American twentieth-century one.He Spread hi...
Larry had brought me blue jeans, a red polo shirt, jogging socks, my white Nikes, an extra cross from my suitcase, the silver knives, the Firestar complete with inner pants holster, and the Browning a...
Jason patted me on the back. Tomorrow night we'll take you out chasing deer.I thought you'd chase cars, I said.He grinned. What fun is that? Cars don't bleed.
It would be nice if you’d stop almost killing me because you don’t want to screw other people.

He said,'Trust yourself, mon ami. You are not your friend with his so-sad tale. And Anita is not human. Through us she is more than that. Both of us huddle around her humanity like it is the last cand...
Great. I didn't say thank you, because it seemed wrong. I wanted to call her a bitch and shoot her between the eyes, but then I would have had to shoot Enzo, too. And how would I explain that to the p...
