Mark Wilkins Quotes

“From “Fear and Retribution” in the Kindle Book: A Week’s Worth of Fiction Volume 1
“The Mc Cants' lived in a big, old house up the street from my small apartment. Some say that Mr. Mc Cant won it in a poker game or that Mrs. Mc Cant cast a spell on the previous owners. Many, however, believed that they acquired the house through some sort of meanness or trickery many years ago, when Amos and Amberline were younger.”

“From “Fear and Retribution” in the Kindle Book: A Week’s Worth of Fiction Volume 1
“That’s how it was with the Mc Cants and me. I minded my own business , didn’t get into theirs and I think they kind of respected me for that. I didn’t really stand up to them but in my mind I didn’t have to. They bullied most folks in the neighborhood but pretty much left me alone.”

“From: The Commitment in: A Week’s Worth of Fiction, Volume 1
“Last night, he was sent to the nearby Military town of Kilakilla. He spent the night at a terrorist hideout disguised as a book store. He ate a wonderful meal, perhaps the best of his life. He filmed a video stating that he was opposed to the injustices his people had suffered. He gave cryptic goodbye messages to his friends and family without naming them.”

“From “I Exist” in Every Lyric Tells A Story.
His mother thought he was a loser
His father thought he was a bum
Plenty of times he felt like running
But he really had nowhere to run
He fought it with everything he had
With his brains and with his fists
And whenever anyone told him he was nobody
He’d tell himself “I exist”

“From “Rock Star” in Every Lyric Tells A Story.
What happens to a rock star
When he gets too old to perform
When his public has faded
Like the strength his voice once had?
What happens to a rock star
When he’s treated like yesterday’s news
And the only reviews that he gets are ones that are bad?”
― Mark Wilkins, Every Lyric Tells A Story

“From “Modern Man” in Every Lyric Tells A Story
His life is run by telephones and clocks
He changes his women, like he changes his socks
He plays to win and sometimes he plays rough
Knows a lot about sex but not much about love”
― Mark Wilkins, Every Lyric Tells A Story
