OCTOBER 2018 - SCAVENGER HUNTDAZED AND CONFUSED
·Post 62
48/50
BEER - #16 (loc 551, 13%)
"Because that's what males do. We beat the shit out of each other, then go have a beer afterward."
BLACK - #3 (loc 2556, 53%)
"It's not a petty case of burning someone's photo with a black candle and whispering some bitchy chant."
BOMB - #5 (loc 612, 16%)
"No, sir. Not the crash or the car bomb. But whoever it is, we'll find them sooner or later."
CHERRY - #14 (loc 3240, 58%)
He was clad in tight salmon-hued flannel PJ bottoms and a cherry red wife beater with pink sponge rollers in his hair.
CONFUSED - #10 (loc 1355, 34%)
I said all of that with the speed of an exuberant child and then shrugged off his hand before quickly shutting the door right in his handsome, yet confused face.
DAY - #1 (loc 395, 27%)
Normal. What a joke. Luc hadn't been normal a day in his existence…
DAZED - #15 (loc 4168, 89%)
"Did that just really happen?" God asked, dazed. "It did," Satan said, and ran his hands through his hair.
DEEP - #14 (loc 855, 15%)
I took a deep breath. Did he really not know? "Your privates, The Kev. You have to keep your privates covered."
DRIVE - #12 (loc 454, 5%)
"Do you have gonorrhea? Need me to drive you to the clinic?" She sighed. "This was a bad idea."
DRUGS - #2 (loc 1787, 58%)
Maybe she hadn't been on the streets that long if talk of masturbating and drugs had that effect.
FIELD - #2 (loc 103, 4%)
"I just spent all day in a field with a dead woman who died horribly. Want to guess just how bad I feel for you right now?"
FILM - #16 (loc 3801, 90%)
But in his rage-filled haze searching for Victoria and Keelin over miles and miles of terrain, everything else had all come crashing back, like watching a film about someone else's life.
FOOTBALL - #7 (loc 305, 37%)
My eyes trail up a football jersey until they reach Brock Johnson's face.
FOX - #5 (loc 1111, 27%)
A giant mug of coffee in a cup that had the words "Oh for fox sake" printed on it, except instead of the word fox , there was a cute baby fox picture.
FRESHMAN - #2 (loc 298, 10%)
Victim number one. Amy had been a college freshman. Every parent's worst nightmare.
GONE - #3 (loc 441, 10%)
"Maybe some think I've gone soft now that I'm mated."
HAZE - #17 (loc 5106, 64%)
"Actually, that's not entirely true. You should know better, chere," a woman's voice pierced through the haze of cicadas.
HIGH - #15 (loc 3236, 69%)
I yanked on some hotter than hell thigh high boots and twisted my hair into a messy knot. I was pissy but good to go.
HIGHWAY - #12 (loc 1121, 13%)
Never actually been to San Jose, just through it on the highway… but it looks like a shithole too.
HOLD - #1 (loc 59, 5%)
"To have and to hold, in sickness and in sin, until…well, death won't part us, so I guess nothing ever will."
HURTS - #5 (loc 3229, 76%)
"I can't do this, I'm not strong enough. It all hurts."
KEG
KISS - #6 (loc 243, 18%)
And God forgive me, but it was good, letting the devil kiss me like that.
LAST - #4 (loc 2601, 30%)
"And for goodness sakes, child. Learn from last time and don't tell your mama."
LOSERS - #9 (loc 4044, 51%)
"I'm sending in some loser to give you what I can't. Your power. Your life force."
LOVE - #1 (loc 62, 5%)
This was definitely a new beginning on a very old, very powerful love affair between me and the devil.
LOW - #11 (loc 4275, 94%)
"Kitten," he breathed, tightening his grasp like he half expected the kid to try to break free. But, instead, it extended its little paws and stretched. The wolf growled low. "I need one of these."
OAK - #3 (loc 1367, 29%)
She'd added a few other personal touches to the spacious, high-ceiling room, such as the thick oak bookshelves and the soft throw blanket…
OUT - #2 (loc 71, 3%)
With dark-blue lipstick to match, of course, because if you were going to stand out, why half ass it?
PARANOID - #3 (loc 2141, 45%)
"Yeah. The fluttering has gotten more…pronounced. Sometimes it feels like bubbles popping." She'd just thought it was, well, gas. And she was paranoid that she'd let it all go in public.
PARTY - #2 (loc 2129, 70%)
"Oh yeah. B cup boobs and telekinesis all in one year. It was one hell of a party."
PURPLE - #14 (loc 1423, 25%)
"You are a spawn of the devil and probably a Democrat," Martha shouted. She turned a very unbecoming shade of purple. "Maybe," I grinned, "but in my class there's a separation of church and state and bullshit."
RIDE - #5 (loc 939, 23%)
Cole nodded, hooking his thumbs into the waistband of his sweatpants and causing them to ride down a fraction lower. Sweet mother of-
ROCK - #11 (loc 4405, 97%)
"Witches were a little more 'hard rock' back in the day," the wolf explained. "Virgin sacrifice, firstborns, orgies…"
ROLL - #1 (loc 1208, 83%)
Abel rolled on the new carpeting as if it were sprinkled with catnip.
RUN - #6 (loc 598, 44%)
Quite frankly, I'd rather run into Mr. Moran in a shadowy alley than Mr. Bellincioni.
SCHOOL - #2 (loc 86, 3%)
"I know they're fakes because they were C and D students all through school. Wouldn't a true psychic be able to cheat?"
SENIOR - #3 (loc 771, 17%)
Raini was a senior tattooist as well as the co-owner of Urban Ink.
SLOW - #10 (loc 3555, 85%)
When he died-and he would by my sword-it would be slow and agonizing.
SONG - #4 (loc 3019, 38%)
He had saved up money from his art and when the owners foreclosed, he was able to snag it for a song and fix it up.
STAR - #1 (loc 1217, 83%)
"You are the Morningstar angel and she is your daughter, so in many ways, she is truly a star."
STRANGLE - #11 (loc 4187, 92%)
"So, how did Knox's idea go?" The words practically strangled him on the way out.
STUDENT - #13 (loc 4088, 52%)
Most knew Ash as one of the Sabien twins, and a diligent student. A hard catch when it came to a hook up.
SUMMER - #12 (loc 3740, 43%)
What's that Twain quote about summer in San Francisco? No wonder the vampires love the place so much.
SWEET - #9 (loc 843, 92%)
"How do you manage to be cocky and sweet at the same time?"
TEENAGER - #12 (loc 1744, 20%)
An older, insanely hot teenage girl in a bathing suit…you've found my weakness! How did you know?
TEXAS
TOP - #3 (loc 1405, 30%)
Her tank top and shorts bordered on indecent, but that could be because it was seriously hot.
TUESDAY - #7 (loc 396, 46%)
"So, it's Friday night and everyone wanted to come see me at once? Family dinners are on Tuesdays, guys. You know the schedule." "Check out Kane's dick!" Erik says excitedly.
WAR - #10 (loc 64, 4%)
Such a staggering casualty of limbs was understandable during war time, but the Hakon clan-my clan-was between raids.

20. Hold - I'm guessing that's why you hold this book in your hands, even now. (p 21)
21. Hurts - "It pains me to record this, / I am not a melodramatic person," she writes, later, which is another articulation of the same idea: I want to tell you how much it hurts, but I'm also going to tell you that there is a voice inside of me, dogging me at every moment about trying too hard to tell you how much it hurts. (p 280)
23. Kiss - Or in memoir - The Kiss restored my voice, broke a silence imposed on me. (p 204)

33. Ride - You'll see Bellow get poetic when he's writing about the scenery, like when Woody and his dad take that streetcar ride. (p 525)
34. Rock + 35. Roll - When I started incorporating so much of the stuff of the vernacular culture and commerical that excited me - advertising, comic books, genre, pulp, rock and roll - even I thought I was, in some way, fouling the nest. (p 298)
36. Run - These things consume a lot of my creative effort, even though my poems aren't formal, and they don't run to a metronomic beat, and they don't usually feature end rhyme. (p 194)
38. Senior - It was her senior year, and she was on her way to her final exams, which were oral exams. (p 337)

45. Sweet - "The nurses were so kind to me, they were so warm to me, and they were so sweet in a way I had never known before." (p 53)
46. Teenage/r - When I first read these lines, I was twenty - not a teenager anymore, but certainly a young man. (p 114)
47. Texas - We were touring through Austin, Texas - were Johnston lived and performed at the time - and Waterloo Records carried them in their store. (p 360)
48. Top - The kind of encounter described in these pieces - when a few words take off the top of your skull and let the light shine in? (p 21)
50. War - In the snaking cadences of Portuguese novelist António Lobo Antunes, for instance, Viet Thanh Nguyen found the voice he needed to begin a novel about the Vietnam War - the book that became his Pulitzer Prize-winning debut. (p 18)
(10/14/18)
1. Beer - The surface of the coffee table was covered with empty beer bottles and two overflowing ashtrays. (p 34)
10. Drugs - "Kidnapping, drugs, murder." (p 9)
11. Field - There was a playground, a soccer field, and a baseball diamond. (p 14)
