“Alone in my room, I don’t feel alone. It’s as if I have two shadows instead of one, and this second shadow doesn’t conform to my movements. It follows me, it gives the impression it will never leave me, but it does what it wants. I worry that in time I will do what it wants.”
― Christopher Pike, The Shadow of Death

“It was easy to forget that the real ghost stories had little to do with that cinematic nonsense and everything to do with the human experience: life, love, loss, faith, redemption.”
― Jacqueline E. Smith, After Death

“you are every dead end
i ever ran from
and all the love
i am looking for”
― Morgan Nikola-Wren, My Dearest Hurricane: Love and Things that Looked like It

“A home isn’t always the house we live in. It’s also the people we choose to surround ourselves with. You may not live on the island, but you can’t tell me it’s not your home. Your bubble, Mr. Baker. It’s been popped. Why would you allow it to grow around you again?”
― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
