When the Devil Quotes

“You’ve gotta be your own God in this fucked up world. That’s the only way to be happy.” There wasn’t a tremble of doubt in her voice, and it pulled the breath from my lungs, leaving me speechless.”
― Emma E. Murray, When the Devil: A Novelette

“That’s your own momma you’re talking about. You should have a little respect for the dead.” “She didn’t earn my respect.” Her eyes caught mine and each word stung like a wasp bite. “You didn’t know her, so don’t pretend to understand.”
― Emma E. Murray, When the Devil: A Novelette
