Lilith Saintcrow
The end of a gun looks very big and very back when it's staring you in the face.
Lilith Saintcrow
I went to the entrance to the restroom, where the hallway did a sharp bend so nobody could peek into the girls' pee-palace.
Lilith Saintcrow
Touch me again, and it will be your last act in life - Blue Eyes.
Lilith Saintcrow
Are you listening, little bird?
Lilith Saintcrow
Death did not play favorites—He loved all equally. What you cannot escape, you must fight what you cannot fight, you must endure . The god's voice—not quite words, just a thread of meaning laid in my receptive mind—

And you know, I believed him. What girl wouldn't?
Lilith Saintcrow
