Quotes by Scott Coon (?)

“Black Mountain had done that. A faceless entity, imaginary but powerful—it was no one and everyone. It had ripped through his life quickly and thoroughly. The company forced DJ to run without any thought of direction other than away. And there was no going back.”
― Scott Coon, Lost Helix
