“A spectre is an entity that can think—though often primitively—and react to changes to their surroundings. They may move from room to room and usually have some kind of impetus keeping them on earth. They’re the closest to the pop culture concept of ghosts. Imprints, on the other hand, are a small amount of energy left behind at the point of death. They’re not conscious. Most commonly, they replay their death, often at the same time each day or on the anniversary of when they died.”
― Darcy Coates, The Carrow Haunt

“I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
― Charles Bukowski

“Something wasn’t right about a tool that dealt death with the barest twitch of a finger.”
― Ryan Leslie, The Between

“Here everyone uses an umbrella when they go out. It’s only logical.” “Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the umbrella industry saw an opportunity and the government got in on it?” “You always think there’s some conspiracy when there isn’t.”
― Agustina Bazterrica, Tender Is the Flesh
