Paint It All Red (Mindf*ck, #5)

by S.T. Abby

All along, I was in love with the girl who wants this town dead.

By that sin, fell the angels.

I thought the worst thing I could do was go insane from the dark depths I had to reach. Turns out, falling in love was truly the worst. The darkness is just my twisted little friend.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

I feel like the devil’s advocate who has lured a saint to the edge of a cliff and now beckons him to jump.

I hope she fucking kills every last person with a badge who didn’t come to save her when she was left to bleed out.

Any demon is capable of cruelty, but only an angel is majestic enough to rain down vengeance for the innocent.

‘Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall. —William Shakespeare

I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.

I didn’t realize until she was gone that nothing else mattered at all. Nothing I stood for was worth more than her. Nothing I valued held any true value at all. Everything I have is pointless without her.
