“Oh, you’re not going home, Silka.”

let's fucking go

“Angels, Lenore Dove told me, are humans with wings [...] A good world for good people to go to. But Lenore Dove is the winged being on my mind at the moment. If there is anything after the life I’m about to lose, will I be with her again? Like the guy in her song, I’d sure like to know.”

my eye is twitching. was an editor not present throughout this entire book? i swear i remember a more competent author.):
