“Tiff needed the words on the page to become the voice in her head, her own voice, or an approximation of it, and she needed the paper and the sound of the scratch of her chapped fingertips against it as she fiddled with each page.”
Timothy Schaffert, The Coffins of Little Hope

“We could endlessly reminisce, live in the past to an unhealthy degree, then politely kill each other some winter night before bedtime, stirring poison into our cups of whiskey-spiked chamomile tea, wearing party hats. Then, nervous about our double homicide, we could lie in bed together, holding hands again, frightened and waiting, still wondering, after all these years, if we even believed in our own souls.”
Timothy Schaffert, The Coffins of Little Hope

“You were young, I thought, not once but always before, always always, every day before the day just passed. You were young only minutes ago.”
Timothy Schaffert, The Coffins of Little Hope
