“Ryann… I love you. Do you not love me back' I swallow at that and try to fight back the emotions that I had just been thinking. I know that I do love him but I also know that this, me leaving, was the best thing for him. I am awful for him and I would never be good enough for this wonderful man whom stands in front of me. I can’t force the words out of my mouth so I simply just shake my head 'no'. I can see in his eyes that the lack of words that I used hurt him just as much as any words I could have said.”

“Ace, I am in love with you. You know that. Can’t eat, can’t sleep without you in love. I have never been in love with anyone in my life. Sure I have loved people here and there, but to not know how to function after they left… I have never… NEVER felt that”

“We have to stay on the inside of the city. We all need each other and we all do our part. We protect you and keep you safe from the outside. They are terrible, terrible people. They eat one another and have no sense of humanity. They will kill you the instant they come into contact with you. That is why we stay on the inside.
These people share delusions about life and about society. They believe that they do not need control over one another and that people can make their own choices. They believe in love and in marriage and that people can choose each other. They do not know about the awful side effects that love can create. We believe in a sense of community' the crowd cheers all around me 'community is what makes the world work. We protect one another and we know that love is just a figment of the imagination that causes you to go crazy.”

“I sigh deeply letting myself fall back down to the floor as I walk over to the bed and slouch onto it. I look to my side and that’s when I see the carvings. I press my face closer to them as I see twelve little slash marks representing each day. Each day that the person was in here. I run my fingers overtop of them as I feel my fingers indent one more time. I look closer as I see the small “A” written on the wall. I knew that Abby sat right where I did and carved these into the wall. I wonder with what? They kept her alive for twelve days and then decided to kill her. It makes me sick to think about it. I wonder why they kept her alive that long.”
