Quotes by Morgan Sylvia (?)

“Can you honestly say that all of the thousands of accounts of hauntings and unnatural beings are fake? Are you that certain of the boundaries and rules of the world we live in? If your answer is yes, I truly envy you. Because I have no such faith. Faith, to survivors like myself, is only a lie at best, and a trap at worst. Death’s door opens both ways.”
― Morgan Sylvia, Abode

“Dreams do not belong in our realm: they belong to the dead and the unborn, and to things that never walked this earth, things that have never turned their faces to this sun.”
― Morgan Sylvia, Abode

“They say that when you get a limb cut off, you still feel it. You still feel pain, or heat, or cold, or itching. The same thing happens when you lose the people that form your world. You feel them there, just out of reach. You close your eyes, and expect to see them there when you open them. You wake up every day, and for a quick, blissful moment, you have forgotten. Then it comes back, and reality hits you like a hammer, leaving you cold and empty and full of dread and pain.”
― Morgan Sylvia, Abode
