“Things have a way of taking on the lives of those around them, so when someone in the house betrays you, it's a betrayal multiplied in perpetuity: your favorite book turns to drivel; coffee in space-related paraphernalia, undrinkable; couches, unsittable.

“A startling power like that of a great wind, the rumble of a tsunami, or the tremor of an earthquake emanated from their passing. Pigeons streaming over Columbus, Ohio, in 1855 spooked horses, impelled children to run for home, and caused the pious to drop to their knees in prayer.”
― James H. McCommons, The Feather Wars: And the Great Crusade to Save America's Birds

“Maryan put a hand over her face. "Oh no. You pretended to be captured by bandits so that I'd come and meet Prince Hugo, didn't you?"

"Isn't he the sweetest thing?" said her mother. "And so fashionable."

"He's got like a million followers," said her father. "I'm not sure what that means, but many of my peers are impressed. And he's in line to inherit all the southern territories."

Maryan glared at them. "Mom, Dad, you need to stop sending suitors after me. They keep getting eaten by servants of the underworld."

Her father spread his hands. "A relationship requires work and sacrifice, Maryan.”
