“The concept of tomorrow is an illusion, a sweeping gesture of time. Marketing.”
Carter Wilson, Mister Tender's Girl

“So here’s my promise to myself: Whatever time I have left I will fill with joy, love, compassion, and—above all else—grand adventures.”
Carter Wilson, The Dead Girl in 2A

“I feel broken.” There was such a distance in her gaze, as if she suddenly saw the raw truths behind all the false comforts children are told. “And nobody can fix me.”
Carter Wilson, The Dead Girl in 2A
