When giants fought, ants were crushed.
As I leafed through the book in front of me and watched the dust swirl in the air, I wondered if maybe there was some evil dormant virus in the pages that would infect me, like the mummy dust that used to kill archaeologists. Death by research. That was not a glorious end.
Shane: “Bro,” he said, in an injured tone, “I had to go out with a flamethrower, and you weren’t there to see it.” Michael: “Pics or it didn’t happen.” Shane: “Dude, little busy for pics. You know, throwing flame.” – Black Dawn.
Even bipolar vampires needed sleep from time to time, and he was well past his recommended safe dosage of stress.
Harte sent one of her revived men after him, and Pat sent him back in boxes.
Now could you please ask these idiots to stop pointing their bullets at me? It’s terribly wasteful.
