Charlotte Munro
I stared down at my hands and saw the blood coat them, how warm and real something felt when it wasn’t just ink and stains. This was life and I was holding it in my hands. I drew my eyes back up and beneath the flickering streetlight and the throng of drunken cattle, I saw nothing else but the dead girl. Somebody out there had taken her life, her heart, and there I was with her warm, sticky blood. Feeling the most alive I’d felt in years. I had to find him. I just had to.
Charlotte Munro, Down by The Mausoleum

Tyler Wentzel
In all honesty, it was hard some days to stave off the bitterness when I would think of the 999 out of 1,000 who simply said, Not my problem.
Tyler Wentzel, Stray Spark
