Magpie Quotes

“What can I get you?” The blonde said. I notice her heavy make-up that she wears to hide the little bit of acne that she has. From a distance you might have thought she was pretty but up close, with the make-up, and the acne, she is just another trashy blonde. I think if she hadn’t been wearing make-up, and not trying to hide her damn zits and all, someone would think she was not too bad. Maybe even beautiful.”

“It’s always those the dead leave behind that can bother you if you think about them too much. Not the dead themselves, because they’re already gone, and there’s some sort of closure in that. The dead are often better off than those they leave behind.”
― Michael James, Magpie
