Jake Vander-Ark
“She grappled his shoulder and pulled him closer; her nose in his neck and the memory-scent of her very first time; that sickly-sweet stench of day-old sweat and mall cologne... she wondered if he’d showered in the ten months since they last shared a bed.”
― Jake Vander-Ark, Fallout Dreams

Bob  Madison
“It was a Thompson submachine gun. She calmly lowered the seat back in place.

She stuck the stock under her left armpit and clutched the front handle.

“Jesus!” I yelled. “Did you always have that there?”

“Yes!”

“What the hell were you waiting for?”

“I was waiting until we got into a jam,” she turned and hefted the Tommy gun rearward. “Cover your ears!”
― Bob Madison, The Lucifer Stone
