“We have an image to uphold, and that image is plausible deniability that we’re even open.”

“She hoped there was no long journey or clouds with halos and harps. People deserve rest, they deserve to forget their hurts and let go of those pains. How could you exist in heaven? How could anyone let go of the pain and loss suffered on earth, and enjoy eternity? She always wondered. She always feared.”
― Elford Alley, Apartment 239
