Rock Paper Scissors

by Alice Feeney

We weren’t always the people we are now, but our memories of the past can make liars of us all.

Marriages don’t fail, people do.

We are truly alone here, which was what Amelia wanted. People should be more careful what they wish for.

The reason why a person lies is almost always more interesting than the lie itself. My husband shouldn’t tell them; he isn’t very good at it.

Kind lies are the cousins of white ones.

But if there’s one thing I have learned from life as well as fiction, it’s that nobody is ever just a hero or just a villain. We all have it in us to be both.’
