Madisyn Carlin
He tugged on Cinders’ reins and guided her to Nerissa’s right. If looks could kill, he’d be as melted as a candle placed on a hunk of red-hot iron. Something about him just rubbed her the wrong way, he supposed. It wouldn’t the first time someone disliked him, and he doubted it would be the last.
Madisyn Carlin, Key

Juan Rulfo
The sea soaks my ankles and then recedes, it soaks my knees, then my thighs; it wraps its tender arm around my waist and caresses my breasts; it embraces my neck and presses against my shoulders. I immerse myself in the sea, fully. I give myself over to its steady force, its gentle possession, holding nothing back
Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo
