Shorn
"Do you know what I mean when I say there’s a feeling someone gets in their eyes? You can look at the woman you love and see when she’s drawn the blinds, decided to pretend nobody’s home? And suddenly you’re sure that no matter what you say, she’ll never hear it because she turned the TV on full blast even though you were mid-sentence?"

The Adventures of Doom Boy and Hellfire Girl
"A follow-up to Hellfire Girl’s last text never came. It was a relatively quiet night crime-wise. And there was only so much static and police code one person could listen to in a single evening. So Doom Boy fired up the Doom Mobile and began heading toward home."

The Thing That Is Not Her Son
"Her son-shaped thing never answers. It looks back at her with pits instead of eyes, black and bottomless. She digs deeper and deeper into them - clawing, searching - and she knows that one day she won’t be able to re-emerge."

Bright are the Stars that Shine
"The absurdity made her laugh. She laughed and laughed until her tears came out. She didn’t wipe them. While she was laughing, her mind gradually got out of that fervent, agitated state it had been in for days. It had been absurd, she thought, and the real absurdity of all was herself. She was such a phony."

"'She’s a witch, that’s what she is,'” said Colin, as they wrapped themselves in the scratchy flannel blankets. Each of them fell asleep thinking of ways to rid their land of Karina, though in their dreams they were learning how to keep her."
