Sinister Games Quotes

“My thoughts were no longer my own; my desires, my wishes, my dreams. All were of Richard. All were focused on pleasing him. I could feel the final vestiges of my soul slipping away. Every day a little death.”
― Zoe Blake, Sinister Games

“Lizzie My life was… complicated. You know that feeling you’d get when you’d start to run down a steep hill? As you ran faster, there was this single moment… just a moment… of pure joy. You would stretch your arms out wide as you embraced the sensation that you were almost flying. You believed, truly believed, if you ran just a little bit faster, if you allowed yourself to dare just a little bit more… maybe you would actually fly. Maybe your toes would lift off the ground and you would touch the sky. So, you dared. You ran faster. Faster. You swore you could no longer feel the ground beneath your feet. All you could see was the bright, beckoning azure sky. And then it happened… you glanced down, back to reality. It was just the barest of seconds, but it was enough. Suddenly you realized, you weren’t flying. You were falling.”
