“Alex slept in Darlington's bed and dreamed that he was curled behind her on the narrow mattress.
He pulled her close, his fingers digging into her abdomen, and she could feel claws at their tips. He whispered in her ear, "I will serve you 'til the end of days."

“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?
And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?”
