I could be blindfolded and dropped into the deepest ocean and I would know where to find you. I could be buried a hundred miles underground and I would know where you are.

I was the kind of kid whose parents would drop him off at the local town library on their way to work$$$ and I'd go and work my way through the children's area.

I would not wish to marry someone who had already been married. It would be$$$' she opined$$$ 'like having someone else break in one's own pony.'

It's not irrelevant$$$ those moments of connection$$$ those places where fiction saves your life. It's the most important thing there is.

And then it went$$$ and time passed properly once more$$$ every second following every other second just like they're meant to.

I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

If you want to call it that. But it is a very specific sort of magic. There's a magic you take from death. Something leaves the world$$$ something else comes into it.

It's only a world$$$ after all$$$ and they're just sand grains in the desert$$$ worlds.

Loyalty was a great thing$$$ but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus with elephants.

I think I've got Fear down$$$ but how do I take it all the way up to Terror?
