“The blast of hot air lifted Tazeem from his feet and threw him onto his back in the road. He blinked up into the night sky; raindrops glowed orange as they fell towards the earth.”
R.D. Ronald, The Zombie Room

Jules Verne
“I don't think a being endowed with will-power should ever despair, as long as his hear beats.”
Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth

Michael G. Kramer
“Sergeant Max Franklin replied, “Just go back to your post at number six and keep your wits about you. The word from the Americans in “Big Red One” is that the Noggies are coming to us. I hope not, but it could be what you have been hearing.”
Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“Her lips silently formed three words, oh my love.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Steel Blood

Lynne Truss
“For any true stickler, you see, the sight of the plural word “Book’s” with an apostrophe in it will trigger a ghastly private emotional process similar to the stages of bereavement, though greatly accelerated. First there is shock. Within seconds, shock gives way to disbelief, disbelief to pain, and pain to anger. Finally (and this is where the analogy breaks down), anger gives way to a righteous urge to perpetrate an act of criminal damage with the aid of a permanent marker.”
Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
