“I might love him. And it has tilted my universe off center, the frayed edges of my life starting to unravel. Loving someone is dangerous. It gives you something to lose.”
― Shea Ernshaw, The Wicked Deep

“I once read a poem about love being fragile, as thin as glass and easily broken.”
― Shea Ernshaw, The Wicked Deep

“The sisters have all found bodies.” The words seem pulled from my throat. The quiet settles between each of my ribs, it expands my lungs, it reminds me of what’s to come. “They’ve all returned.” I close my eyes, focusing on the silence. It’s the fastest it’s ever happened before. Now the drowning will begin.”
― Shea Ernshaw, The Wicked Deep

“There are legends of mermaids who fall in love with sailors, their devotion granting them a human form. I read about the Irish tales of selkies shedding their sealskins, marrying a human man, and staying on land forever.”
― Shea Ernshaw, The Wicked Deep
