“Our knowledge is so minute, a tiny droplet in a vast sea that never ends, and we had the audacity to think we knew what we were getting into.”
Meg Smitherman, Thrum

“I feel the vastness at my back like a loving nightmare, tendrils of it wrapping around my ankles and throat until I’m inevitably lost to it. I keep imagining the cosmos wrenching me off the ship, dragging me deep into itself, and I am a prisoner there forever, eyes wide, my screams soundless in the vacuum.”
Meg Smitherman, Thrum

“He wants to keep me here, he wants all of me, my body, my mind, my soul. He wants to hurt me, to own me.”
Meg Smitherman, Thrum

“She felt surrounded by the space, ever expanding space, and she was a tiny atom, not separate, but part of a whole, a glistening three-dimensional web, full of movement and energy.”
Liz Berry, The China Garden

“gorgeously feminine curve of the building.”
Blake Crouch, Dark Matter
