The gaiaphage. That's the other word they use. 'Gaia,' as in world. 'Phage,' as in a worm or something that eats something up. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say I don't think something that calls itself a 'world eater' is a good thing.

So, Diana thought, that was the bait she had to lay out for Jack. Of course. What else? He might lust for Diana, and long for Brianna, but Jack’s true love was made of silicon.

Sam, that's a great concept. And maybe you believe it. But I'm black and I'm a lesbian, so let me tell you: From what I know? Personal experience? There are always lines.

Sam was starting to feel anxious. Nutella and noodles were fine. Great in fact. Miraculous. But he'd been hoping for more food more water more medicine something. It was absurdly like Christmas morning when he was little: hoping for something he couldn't even put a name to. A game changer. Something...amazing.

Things will be different this time, Caine said. There was too much contention, too much violence the last time. I tried to be a peaceful leader. But thing went badly. I wonder why, Diana muttered. These people, Caine said grandly, sweeping his arm towards the town, need more than a leader. They need...a king.

No. I believe in free will. I think we make our own decisions and carry out our own actions. And our actions have consequences. The world is what we make it. But I think sometime we can ask God to help us and He will. Sometime I think He looks down and say, 'Wow, look what those idiots are up to now. I guess I better help them along a little'.

I came up with myself. FAYZ. Spelled F-A-Y-Z. It stands for Fallout Alley Youth Zone. Fallout Alley, and nothing but kids. Howard laughed his mean laugh. Don't worry, Astrid, it's just a FAYZ. Get it? Just a FAYZ.

It takes me a while to figure things out, doesn't it? Edilio grinned. Do me a favor. When you find Astrid, repeat that to her, word for word, the part about how it takes you a while. Then remember her exact reaction and tell me.

Ah. Yeah, that would be better. Have you ever driven a bus? Caine shook his head. No, I have not. Strangely enough, Sam said, remembering the long ago moment of terror and competence that had earned him the nicknames School Bus Sam, I have.

Because that, more than any monster, was what Sam had feared: that he was weak and cowardly. He had a terrible fear of being afraid.
