“I’m hoping for a broadsword,” Patrick said, crossing his fingers. “We can go all Game of Thrones on Arkansas.” “I’ve always hated Arkansas,” Ben considered. “We all do, Ben. We all hate Arkansas.”
Clayton Smith, Apocalypticon

“Ben nudged him gently. “Don’t piss them off, they wield the God-force,” he whispered. “I don’t think you know how religion works,” Patrick whispered back.”
Clayton Smith, Apocalypticon

“Ben was waiting outside his door when he stepped into the hall. “Well don’t you just look like something out of a Stephen King novel!”
Clayton Smith, Apocalypticon
