“This is a lesson in creation: The first blood of blood magic is always your own.”

“The farther removed you are from people actually shooting at you, the more you forget that cannons can do something to you other than fire salutes.”

It would be easy to follow, fall to my knees, prostrate before the deli counter. Sweep the shelves clear, scatter the tins, pound the cakes to powder. Supermarket isles stretching out in macabre displays. Christmas madness, sad songs and mistletoe, packed car parks, rotten leaves banked up in corners. Forgotten reminders of summer before the storm.

Peter B. Forster, More Than Love, A Husband's Tale

Jeff Mach, There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
