“Writers. For some reason, a lot of you reject what you hear and see in your heads. If you go too long ignoring it, it builds up and then you do all sorts of weird things. Mumble to yourself. Nightmares. Day-dreams. Total anarchy and chaos. Before you know it, the writer is either sitting in corner feverishly humming to his- or herself or on Prozac. You’re not on Prozac, are you? (Esther)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

Please open your eyes and look at me. Please. (Adron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

“You want to know what I’m afraid of? I’m afraid of every morning when I wake up that this will be the day when I can no longer move for myself. I know it’s coming. It’s just a matter of time until I have no choice, except to have someone else clothe me, feed me. Change my diaper. And I can’t stand it. (Adron)
Then why don’t you kill yourself? Why are you still here? (Livia)
Because every time I think of doing that, I can hear my family praying over me while I was in the hospital. I hear my mother weeping, my father begging me not to die on them.

Am I not in enough pain that you’d torture me with this shit on top of it?
What did I ever do to you to make you want to kill me? (Adron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

“I want to go to the park. (Livia)

“Depends. (Adron)
On? (Livia)

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

I’m thinking how glad I am that I traded myself for that woman. How glad I am that my brother couldn’t kill me. But most of all, I’m thinking just how damn grateful I am that you saw something in me worth saving. Thank you for my son, Livia, and for my life. I love you. I always will. (Adron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

“And what am I? (Adron)
You’re kind and decent. You have a good heart. (Livia)

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, In Other Worlds
