Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.
Stephen King
Image
Lightning flashed dully inside the clouds on the horizon making them look as if they had fireflies of their own, monster fireflies the size of dinosaurs.
Stephen King
Image
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.
