“How familiar was Walt with this? Did his other "rides" tell him? How being possessed didn't feel like being puppeteered from above, or remote-controlled.
That it felt like having someone stand behind you while showing you how to play pool or golf or wheel-throw clay. Their heat at you back. Their breath on your neck.” ...more K. Ancrum |

We decide the end of the game, not them. Not anyone else. You’re so stupid, August. You’re so stupid and I love you so much.”

“She had the swagger of a girl. She blushed like a boy. She had a girl’s toughness. She has a boy’s gentleness. She was as meaty as a girl. She was as graceful as a boy. She was as brave and handsome and rough as a girl. She was as pretty and delicate and dainty as a boy. She turned boys' heads like a girl. She turned girls' heads like a boy. She made love like a boy. She made love like a girl. She was so boyish it was girlish, so girlish it was boyish, she made me want to rove the world writing our names on every tree. I had simply never found someone so right. Sometimes this shocked me so much that I was unable to speak.”

“She was too quiet, or she was too loud. She took things too seriously, or not seriously at all. She was too sensitive, or too cold-hearted. She hated with every fiber of her being, or loved with all her heart. There was no in-between for her. It was either all or nothing. She wanted everything, but in the end, she settled for nothing.”

You deserve all the praise! I started reading it early in the evening yesterday, with plans of stopping around 1AM to sleep.
Yeah... that didn’t happen. I had to finish it. Next thing I knew, I turned the last page, it was 5AM, and I was wrecked. I wound up crawling through my bedroom window to sit on my roof and decompress with a cigarette (or four). This book— It hit me. Hard. That doesn’t happen often. So, again, thank you!
