I chased money, pretended to be someone else to get it. It got easier the longer I did it... but that's the trap, see? When the deadness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.

More quotes by Lucy Christopher
I thought you wanted to catch a camel, you tried again. No. I want to. Well, you go then. You laughed. I want your beautiful face where I can see it
Lucy Christopher
Those blue, blue eyes, icy blue, looking back at me as if I could warm them up. They’re pretty powerful, you know, those eyes, pretty beautiful, too.
Lucy Christopher
You nodded towards the cup. Want more? I shook my head. What about the car? Didn't find it. You were heading back towards me when I found you. Towards . . . ? You nodded. So I reckoned the car had probably got stuck or died somehow, and you were just coming home. Home? Yeah. Your mouth twitched. Back to me.
Lucy Christopher
You won't be able to hurt me, or touch me.

If there'd been an astronaut on the moon right then, I'm sure I could have seen him. Perhaps he could have looked down and seen me too... the only one who could.
Lucy Christopher
I didn’t want the person standing there, beside the bed, to have the same face I’d found so attractive at the airport. But you were there all right: the blue eyes, blondish hair, and tiny scar. Only you didn’t look beautiful this time. Just evil.
Lucy Christopher
And it's hard to hate someone once you understand them.
Lucy Christopher
Where are you going? I asked. The middle of nowhere. I thought this was it. Nah. You shook your head. This is just the edge.
Lucy Christopher
There were tiny stars behind my eyelids, a whole galaxy of tiny, spinning stars.
Lucy Christopher
When the darkness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.
Lucy Christopher
The deep blue of your eyes had secrets. I wanted them.
Lucy Christopher
It sounded weird to hear you talk so much normally you only said a few words at a time. I'd never imagined that you'd have a story, too. Until that moment, you were just the kidnapper. You didn't have reasons for anything. You were stupid and evil and mentally ill. That was all. When you started talking, you started changing.
Lucy Christopher
I didn’t look back, but I knew you were still watching. It probably sounds weird, but I could just feel it. The hairs on my neck bristled when you blinked.
Lucy Christopher
I remember the lights turning into blurs of blazing fire. I remember the air-conditioning chilling my arms. The smell of coffee smudging into the smell of eucalyptus.
Lucy Christopher
The land wants you here. I want you here, you called. Don't you care about that at all?
Lucy Christopher
Far, far away something made a single ghostly howl, like a banshee in the dark.
Lucy Christopher
The people we care for aren't always the one we should
Lucy Christopher
I mean, that star over there is blinking at me madly now, but for how long? An hour or two, or for the next million years? And how long will we sit here like this? Just another moment, or the rest of our lives? You know which one I'd prefer.
Lucy Christopher
How would she find her herd? How would she find you?
Lucy Christopher
It was like I’d stepped out into an afterlife. Only there were no angels.
