Piers Anthony

Piers Anthony
Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.
Piers Anthony
She looked around. Oh, I've just got to hug somebody! You! And she hugged Puck, the little ghost horse. And you. She hugged Pook, and Peek, and even the nose of the moat monster. But not you, she decided, encountering the zombie.
Piers Anthony
