Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society - a future world that could plausibly happen.

I was born into a world that was already dying; I belong to it.

The sullen boy sitting before me is not my husband, and the girl he is fretting over isn't me, will never be me.

He gathers me up and I'm weightless before he sets me on the railing. He's the only thing keeping me from falling back, out of the reach of daylight. I'm not afraid of falling. I don't fear the sky beyond the train tracks like I did before. I can go anywhere just so long as it's with him.

Set fire to the broken pieces; start anew.

We writers are resilient souls.

Lovers are weapons, but love is a wound.
