The Raven and the Reindeer

by T. Kingfisher

It is hard to see a story when you are standing in the middle of it.

you can be both right and completely wrong, all at the same time.

dreams are the sisters of nightmares.

There is a great deal that goes on when someone goes missing, and none of it is good. It is a tiresome sort of panic, because there is no end to it. It goes on and on and on until you are hollowed out and empty and still there is no end.

Feeling bad about feeling bad was not significantly better than feeling bad in the first place.
