Tally snorted. I don’t think it’s exactly boring, Shay. Doing what you’re supposed to do is always boring. I can’t imagine anything worse than being required to have fun. I can, Tally said quietly. Ne...
He thinks Goliath can end the war, Alek managed at last. The man wants peace! As do we all, Count Volger said. But there are many ways to end a war. Some are more peaceful than others.
Sure, zombies can be a metaphor. They can represent the oppressed, as in Land of the Dead, or humanity’s feral nature, as in 28 Days. Or racial politics or fear of contagion or even the consumer uncon...
Why are you still wearing...? Aya began. Oh, that's not smart plastic? You're really an ugly?David rolled his eyes and Shay said quietly, David's never had any surge at all. But I wouldn't use the wor...
She laughed and broke into a run, racing out to grab handfuls of raindrops from the air, all alone in a world of diamonds.
Sometimes Tally felt she could almost accept brain damage if it meant a life without reconstituted noodles.
Maybe that is the price of loving someone: you lose your grasp of where they ended and you began.
