Status Updates From Seeds of Yesterday

“I’ve found a man to love me that makes you look like something drug up from the Dismal Swamp!”

Damn Cindy! 💀

“God did exist, had always been there even when I wanted to deny him.

The words of Christ did have meaning in today’s world—and somehow his teachings had reached out and found a place in Bart’s maze of troubled brain waves.”

This suddenly turned into Christian fiction lmao

“Cathy, I told him what I honestly thought, that he was looking for a woman like his mother. He went pale, almost dead white. He appeared totally shocked at the idea.”

Not all men? Lmao

“It takes an exceptionally compassionate and understanding man to marry a woman who isn’t physically normal.”

“Isn't physically normal” is sending me

‘“He won’t find his soul, Momma,” she called back coolly, backing away even farther. “He was born without one.”’

👁️👄👁️

“You’re not my sister, just a smart-ass little bitch in heat—the same as your mother!”

Omfg 💀

“...For with a mother like you, Jory doesn’t need a wife like me.”

Boy mom alert

‘“Uncle Joel says the best evangelists have been the worst sinners; he says you have to roll in the gutter filth to know what it’s like to be clean, and saved.”

“And that’s what you’re doing all those nights, rolling in the gutter filth?”

“Yes, Mother darling—for damned if I know what it’s like to feel clean, or saved.”’

😬

Bart and Joel are gonna start a hard-line Christian cult now??

“I wanted a boy and a girl . . . but not twins. Now I have to be both mother and father to two! Twins! It’s not fair, not fair!”

Damn Melodie!

“What the hell is wrong with everybody in this house?”

Lmao

“Cindy would like to creep under my skin and make me do something as wicked as what Chris does with you. She strolls around in her bedroom wearing nothing but bikini bra and bottoms. And she knows I check her rooms before I retire. Tonight she had on a nightgown so transparent I could see right through it. She just stood there and let me stare.”

This would actually make the book more interesting

“You smile at me with such sweetness, and my heart reaches out, wanting you never to change. Then I go to bed and hear whispers in my head that tell me you are evil and deserve to die. When I think of you dead and in the ground, tears fill my eyes and my heart feels empty and broken, heavier than lead—and I’m undone.”

Ummm wtf 🫪

pretty interesting it’s just following the siblings as they escaped

definitely interesting to see how the romantic relationships progress as Cathy gets older

“You and that man you love gave me everything I ever said I wanted, and many things I didn’t even mention, and still you never gave me happiness. So I’ve decided not to care about anything anymore.”

These people are so melodramatic

“We’re too rich to be well liked. We’re also too rich to feel sorry for ourselves.”

Talk about rich people problems

‘His strong fingers bit down into my shoulder’s tender flesh. “You look lovely—like an angel.”

Was that a compliment, or a suggestion?

He smiled at me cynically, then snatched his arm away as if it had betrayed him.

I laughed nervously.’

Everything is incest in this house

‘“You damned freaky hypocrite!” she yelled back at Bart. “I heard at your birthday party that you do your share of using the local brothel . . .”’

Get em!!

“I know drunken men and women will eventually try to fornicate with someone other than whom they came with. I remember your birthday party and what went on. Sinful modern life makes me realize how pure the world was when I was young. Nothing is the same as it used to be. People knew how to act decently in public then, no matter what they did behind closed doors....”

Can this man die already

“His younger brother was someone I never really liked, but he’s changed, Cathy, he has, really. No man who really hates women can make love as he does . . .”

Melodie WTF

“And you seem far too young to be in your fifties. My father used to say the wicked always managed to stay young and healthy longer than those who had a place waiting for them in Heaven.”

👁️👄👁️

“You’ve got the most beautiful mouth, and a strong chin. Only weak-chinned men should hide behind beards.”

Lmao

Bart's mom out here telling him to "stop making love" to his sister-in-law 💀

“This house wants to use the people inside as a way to keep it living on forever. It’s like a vampire, sucking our lifeblood from all of us. I wish it hadn’t been restored....”

🎵 I THINK I'M GONNA DIE IN THIS HOUSE 🎵
