“You know how before you die, they say your life flashes before your eyes? Well, just so you know, that also happens when you come your brains out with your fingers in your ass, screaming for your dad to fuck you in his shower, then walk into his bedroom and realize he heard every word.”
― Honey London, Call Me Daddy

“Helios stopped talking and stared up at the ceiling. ‘I’ve always been a disappointment.’ Icarus couldn’t say that Helios wasn’t, he couldn’t say it was going to be okay because he didn’t know if it would be, he didn’t have a paragraph of loving words that he’d rehearsed the way Helios did. He only had the truth. ‘I want you anyway.’ Then, softer, ‘I’ll want you still, all the same.”
― K. Ancrum, Icarus
