    i, you say, and he waits patiently for you to finish. you inhale, holding the breath in your lungs and the words in your mouth and the faith in your heart, and when you look up your eyes are clear.

    Right now this:
    “Okay,” Jasper spoke, as he opened the door before screaming in excitement, running to hug his grandfather, “I love you Papa.”

    Mine would be this: He didn’t even have a chance to name her. - Chapter 1 of The Elephant's Trumpet

    It isn't flashy, and it doesn't really make sense unless you've read my story. It's about a teenager who just got a puppy for Christmas when his step-father brutally kills it. Thus, that line is inserted at the end of that scene, and it really helps you feel the emotion.

    I have a few, and they're always changing. I like a lot of the lines of The Art of Being Alone. My favourites right now are:
    'To borrow a bit of his faded fairytale glamour.' and
    '... the words that shattered the dust and bone castle that I had built around myself.'
    I think I like them so much because they're sentences about Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan, and I spent a long time trying to express what I love about his writing.

    I also went a bit crazy for a few hours last night, and wrote a lot of Sick Minds's sequel, and I came up with these:
    'She found him, twisted up in his bed sheets with whisky spilled down his front and his gullet, and he was sobbing. Truly sobbing: these huge, horrible, messy, gasping sobs that doubled him over; clutching at himself to keep his lungs and the bile inside, choking, choking.'
    Also:
    'He could see the insanity pulling at her eyes, her face pulled back and drawn, all bones and skin and nerves... She was shaking her head, and that locked away hysteria was climbing out now, of her eyes and her hands.'

    Finally, I'm rewriting Sweet Charity to make her more psycho and the story more gnarly. Favourite lines from that so far are
    'You thought your goody two shoes ways and sickening names had broken through my bad boy exterior to my golden heart... I'm not going to apologise because you were stupid enough to believe I cared for you.' (The latter half I love because it is the line that sparked off the revamp tehe)
    And:
    'Cut myself?... Why would I do that?... I'm so pretty!'
    Because that girl is insane.
    'Because I enjoy ruining lives as much as she does./And it doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes.'

    I've got a couple from things I've posted, so here goes;

    "One thing I will say about Ari, she's very efficient. And you can take that statement however you want to." ArdenRanger295 in the second chapter of Freakz

    and pretty much all of Black (Veil) Ops but these especially,
    "Ashley, get your butt over here right now. I don't care who she is." CC in Chapter 1
    "That piece of crap still runs?" Andy in Chapter 5
    "Tabula Rasa, we're fucked" Andy in Chapter 9
    "Is it alien? Tell me it's alien. I've got five bucks it's alien!" CC in Chapter 10
    "Jesus Christ mate...Are these two always like this? I mean I know they're certifiably nuts, but I didn't know they were this weird." + "And of course it's all written in Magic:The Gathering, Dungeons And Dragons crazy talk." both of which are from Jonah in Chapter 12

    Alright I'm done now, hope you enjoy these as much as I do Bye Dance

    It is Dominic’s eighteenth birthday today, but I am bleeding and I think Liam Perkins has broken my nose.

    From RE:MATCH, a few chapters in. I don't know why. I just like it.

    Love is a beautiful creation, and life even more so, but I have never experienced either of them. I am merely a pen without ink, a book without a front cover, a song without a beat. I am nothing. I don’t exist.

    From a story I'm writing called "Scripted". :)

    A tie between:

    "You and me, Officer. We're the same."

    &

    I believe insanity truly corrupts the mind, when you finally admit to being insane.
    That is the moment when it all just slips away.
    Well, at least that's how it was for me.


    Both from a story I'm working on, Killing Adam. I haven't posted any chapters yet. Shifty

    "How could something so magical be 'only' anything?"

    So cheesy ohmygod. This character is a homunculus, pretty much born alone in a body that looks 18. Obviously, she'd be pretty confused by some things, and one of them was stars, so she talked to a neighbor about them, and the neighbor said that they were only stars. I just love when she's recalling being a fresh little person so unaware of most everything. 'Cause she's my baby and I can get put down by writing about how old and jaded she is now.

    So, really, it's like two sentences, but when I wrote this I felt so great. xD

    "Even if every one of Jared’s bones ached for her, craved her. Even if he wanted to rip her apart and devour her essence, become her, make her become him."

    At the moment, it's:

    "...and our bodies are like two perfect shadows of each other."
    - Until the Execution's Over

    Obviously that's not the full line, but it's my favorite part of the line, and it's from the 13th chapter, which is not yet posted.

    "And if our lives aren’t fucked up enough, I happen to be in love with Samson in a way that isn’t friendly, or brotherly but rather the way where I’d like to spend my life with him forever, and he’s gay and he wants a boy that he can love the way I love him, and sometimes like right now, we sleep together and not like in the car before school but in the back seat, horizontal with no clothes on, and I feel something coming together inside and also falling apart because I know I shouldn’t love Samson like I do and I know that him sleeping with me the way he does isn’t fair to me."

    This is one of my favorite things I've ever written, I just love the voice of this character.

    As of now, I have two favorite lines:

    It would always remind him of the heartache, hunger and thirst that not only he, but his crew, felt.

    With salt water racing through him, he was a sailor until the very end.


    They're from Sailor, which I one of my most recent drabbles.

    I have a favorite line of mine I came up with while bored one day and I was cold:

    Perfect little shudders caress the small of my back, wispy tendrils extending as they snake across my skin leaving frigid goosebumps in their wake.
