    Susan Rowland
    “You can’t set fires, Anna. Never again. Promise.”
    [Anna] aimed her defiance at Mary.
    “And you? What’s your reason to hate me?”
    Caroline spoke quietly. “We nearly died — in the fire in those mountains and at the house when Ravi had a gun pointed at us.” Her eyes were full of tears. “The fire you set at The Old Hospital could have killed me as well as Janet and Agnes.”
    Anna muttered into the syrupy dregs of her tea. “Fire, you’re firing me?”
    Mary grimaced. There had been too much fire.”

    Shel Silverstein
    “FROZEN DREAM

    I'll take the dream I had last night
    And put it in my freezer,
    So someday long and far away
    When I'm an old grey geezer,
    I'll take it out and thaw it out,
    This lovely dream I've frozen,
    And boil it up and sit me down
    A dip my old cold toes in.”
    ― Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic

    William Kely McClung
    “Great. Abducted by aliens. She’d never live this one down. She wondered if they would dissect her. Maybe grab a steak of the tender parts and cook her up. Any sex stuff was too weird and horrible to think about, though it had been awhile. What the hell did she know? Brad Pitt. Surely, he wasn’t entirely human. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.”
    ― William Kely McClung, LOOP

    Yvonne Korshak
    “As Aristocleia raised her cup to toast Xanthippus, her gown slipped from her shoulders, exquisite as Aphrodite’s, and flowed like the water that slid over her naked breasts when she allowed him to watch her bathe. It was wonderful to possess a gem of a woman. It made a man feel beautiful and godlike himself, briefly.”
    ― Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
