    “Charlie said your friend’s disappeared,” chirped Wendy.
    “No, he hasn’t.” Adam denied it. “He’s in the house. Now, look, what’s all this you’ve been telling them?”
    “Nothing, I haven’t told them anything.” Charlie looked drunk.
    “He said you’ve turned your friend into a crayfish,” insisted Wendy.
    “He’s always making little jokes like that, and you fell for it. How am I supposed to do that, for heaven’s sake?” Adam was angry.
    “With your little book you found. What’s that under your arm?”
    ― Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

    J. Rose Black
    “But this is my fucking life! My mom died and some reporter wanted a story.” I heaved for air. “And all I cared about was playing in some game. Like that was what mattered. She was dying, and I was mad. I’m still fucking pissed. Criminals survive every day. Murderers and rapists and lunatics. But not her.”
    “Life, in all the years I’ve been living it, son, doesn’t make a lick of sense where that’s concerned.”
    ― J. Rose Black, Chasing Headlines

    Louis de Bernières
    “This is a very ancient land, and we've had nothing but slaughter for two thousand years. Sacrifices, wars, murders, nothing but bad deaths. We've got so many places full of bitter ghosts that anyone who goes near them or lives in them becomes heartless or insane. I don't believe in God, Captain, and I'm not superstitious, but I do believe in ghosts.”
