A little known fact: I read all the time. books were the one thing that got me out of Gatlin, even if it was only for a little while.

Blood of my heart, protection is thine. Life of my life, taking yours, taking mine Body of my body, marrow and mind Soul of my soul, to our spirit bind Blood of my heart, my tides, my moon Blood of my heart, my salvation, my doom

It was all so clear now. Like everything had been lost in darkness, and then the sun came out. Some moments are like that.

Everything in Gatlin was rigged. Why would the carnival games be any different?

Maybe all crows were just creepy.

It's the face the world sees, the one you can change as many times as you want

You can't jump off a cliff when you have already fallen off a bigger one.
