“Monsters don't dress like monsters; they dress like humans. Even stranger, they rarely know they're the monsters.”
― Dennis Lehane, Since We Fell

“The summer of 2019 had overstayed its welcome in Florida,
lingering well into September. As if to make a point about global
warming, the rabid sun scorched the waters of Biscayne Bay for
weeks, generating a haze of humidity that blurred the line between
the windless sea and the sky above. Not to be accused of playing
favorites, the sun’s rays beat down on the land with equal spite,
pummeling grass, palms, and bushes into limp submission. The
heat weaponized asphalt roads and cement sidewalks, the shimmery
mirages above them a clear warning to all living things to stay away
or burn.”
― J.K. Franko, Eye for Eye

“Fu cosi' semplice, cosi facile: mi innamorai.”
― Colleen McCollough

“I've met some brave people in my life. And I've met some awfully stupid people. You're one of the rare ones that are both.”
― James Dashner, The Rule of Thoughts
