Jason Jack Miller
“Henry,that's how you get rid of fleas. You keep them from laying eggs. You go to war with them.”
Jason Jack Miller, HELLBENDER

Heather Day Gilbert
“I couldn’t describe the smells of West Virginia, even if I tried. It has something to do with the leaves composting in the woods, the cold trickle of little creeks and waterfalls, the ferns greening up everything. But somewhere deep below, I can smell the rock and the coal this state is built on.”
Heather Day Gilbert, Miranda Warning
