The Twisted Ones

by T. Kingfisher

“The good die first / and they whose hearts are dry as summer dust / burn to the socket.”

Dad never asked me for anything, which is why I would have done anything for him.

We don’t stay where we aren’t wanted.

If someone says they are done with us, we take them at their word.

When you’re a kid, you’re always wrong if you’re mad at a grown-up.

“You have trespassed into deep places, and the only way out is deeper still.”
