Quotes by Daniel May (?)

“He doesn’t get to fuck you in these,” said Mini. “This memory? This one is mine.”
― Daniel May, A Darker Palette

1 likes

“Mini seemed to think about it. He pulled out a pocket knife, flipped it open, and handed it to Trinket. “For the packing tape,” he said, rolling his eyes at Trinket’s expression. “Not for stabbing the fish. Jesus.” Trinket knelt by the first box, took the knife, and slit the tape.”
― Daniel May, A Darker Palette

1 likes

“As he showered, he wondered if he had always been capable of such intense desire, and he wondered what would have happened if he had never met Mini or begun to experiment with Zee. Would he ever have relaxed and been able to enjoy himself?”
― Daniel May, A Darker Palette
