“I wish I could make this moment last; why is it that the best parts of life are the quickest over?”

Emma Berquist, Missing, Presumed Dead: A Haunting LGBTQ YA Thriller About a Psychic and a Ghost Hunting Killers
“I turn on my side and study the beam close to my head, next to the entrance. There are names scratched in the wood, some deep and some barely visible. Davis, I read. Rodríguez. Eames. One that could be Hicks, or maybe Ricks. Why do they carve their names, when only strangers will read them? A name is only a meaningless word with nothing to attach it to. Maybe it is enough just to be remembered, if only for your name; here is proof of life, faceless and voiceless but unmistakable. Immortality of a strange sort: a eulogy in wood.”
Emma Berquist, Devils Unto Dust

“In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,

“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.” —Stephen Crane”
Emma Berquist, Devils Unto Dust

“Maybe this is what humans are truly like, when you take away reason and control and hope. Maybe the shakes aren’t sick; maybe they’re just honest.”
Emma Berquist, Devils Unto Dust
“She'll leave eventually, like everyone does, and I'll still be here.”
Emma Berquist
