As a blacksmith to a blade, nightmares are capable of hammering the dullness of the mind until it is sharp enough to cut any terror when awake.

Quote
In the dark behind the glare of the television, like a mannequin behind it, I could see a silhouette and it wasn’t moving. It was maybe six foot high with its shoulders hunched and I blinked to make sure it was real. The TV fuzzed grey and white and black and I had a lump in my throat that I couldn’t swallow away. “Rory” I whispered. Clawing out gently beneath the duvet cover, reaching for his hand. But I couldn’t find it. And he didn’t answer.

Quote
Man may behold what ugliness he likes if he is sure that he will not worship it; but there are some so weak that they will worship a thing only because it is ugly. These must be chained to the beautiful. It is not always wrong even to go, like Dante, to the brink of the lowest promontory and look down at hell. It is when you look up at hell that a serious miscalculation has probably been made.

Quote
Michael tried to look at its face, but there was no face there to witness. No matter how hard he tried to focus on its face, he could not see through the darkness surrounding it.'As human beings, we are always told that time is precious, but no one wants to talk about fear. For fear is quite a luxury, one that we can rarely afford in this world. Thus, we should stop running away from it, turn around, and embrace it....fear is a luxury...

Quote
Her world fragmented into dozens of sharp, cutting shards, shedding the salty blood and saltier tears that ringed the bitter cocktail of her despair. She was caterpillar and butterfly, both, caught in a cocoon of raw nerves and open sores; she was insanity, wrapped up in the thin, transient wrappings of a temporary lucidity; and she was afraid, because an innate desire lay in the bottom reaches of her psyche for the very poison that was killing her.
