Anne Rice
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
Anne Rice
An evil for these times destined to move through the world in handsome human guise.

In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home. It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard. I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.
