Quotes by Stephen Harrison (?)

“Morgan took a seat beside one of the participants, an Asian woman wearing a blue medical mask over her mouth. But why? Was she a doctor or a nurse? A germophobe?”
― Stephen Harrison, The Editors

“She felt like she’d been dropped into a panic shelter built by some crazed Y2K prepper.”
― Stephen Harrison, The Editors

“Morgan’s lips squeezed. She could maintain her composure about her roommate abandoning her if she must, but the word content was napalm to her nerves. Real journalism was too important to be grouped together with the slew of social media.”
