“She was a thin, a thin burning flame, colorless yet fresh.

She was a changeling whose lips were the only point of contact with reality.”

“You've got an awfully kissable mouth.”

“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”

Crushed under a world of concrete, you're sandwiched like so much meat salad between layers of steel and glass. In that last, fast flutter of your eyelids, you looking down that long tunnel toward the bright God Light and your dead grandma walking up to hug you--do you want to be hearing another radio commercial for a mega, clearance, closeout, blow-out liquidation car-stereo sale?”

“He leaned forward to inspect her closer. "Is that all hair?”

“It's lovely. If only you could frost someone to death.”
