Field Guide to the Haunted Forest (Haunted Forest Trilogy)

by Jarod K. Anderson

You can look at any human life as the sum of a complex collection of chemical reactions,

You are the monster now. Get out of bed. You don’t need to sleep anymore.

Your choices outweigh your substance.

You are not born to this place. You are born of this place.

Your birth was reckless. Lightning strikes without reason.

Words are jewels. Precious to us, but small and finite.

My teeth feel like time-traveler’s teeth.

Let nature be your church. Let the trees be your temple. Let each nourishing breath be your sacred vow. Let the shared spark of life be your holy order and, if there is one prayer you can whisper into the ear of the world, let it be “thank you.”
