"Literally picked up this book because I couldn't stop thinking of this one essay titled 'The Golden Drugget' we were made to read as part of our English Elective class back in Grade 11. See how I said "made" because that's exactly how I felt. But now, oh now, I can't seem to stop thinking about it and how this author found inspiration in the mundane and how beautifully he wrote about golden light falling on a rug." — Mar 31, 2026 11:53PM

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”

“You people are always trying to invent reasons for things. Monsters only come for bad children, for loose women, for impious men. The truth is that the powerful come for the weak, whenever and wherever they like. Always have, always will.”
