Lilith Saintcrow
The only place their voices were left was in my head. It was better than being alone but it was so, so lonely.
Lilith Saintcrow
And ordering me around is exactly the wrong way to make me do what you want.
Lilith Saintcrow
Christophe, with the careful tone of an adult telling a kid not to pet the nice foaming-rabid pooch.
