Joseph A. Anderson
“He falls further into darkness. The stinging pain of daily torture and the numbing cold hardly bother him now, and he relishes the thought that soon he might disappear entirely. Then Lylitte is there in his thoughts again, and the splitting pain brings him back into this life, and again, only one thing eases the torment: winding further out of existence.”
― Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b

Joseph A. Anderson
“There’s so many pictures of people pretending to smile,” she says.”
― Joseph A. Anderson, Return to Planet Earth: The Star Dreamers: book 2
