“As the pair turned to leave they were taken by surprise by the shop owner. He was middle-aged and did not look as though he could overpower Arvid, although the large club he wielded showed his intention.
Raimund instinctively made a run for the door, only to be floored by a blow from the club. From his dazed prone position Raimund watched in horror as his uncle thrust his knife into the shopkeeper鈥檚 chest. With blood pumping from the fatal wound, the shopkeeper fell across Raimund.”
― Robert Reid, The Emperor

“The Rangers were founded over one hundred and fifty years ago, in King Herbert's reign. Do you know anything about him?" Halt looked sideways at the boy sitting beside him, tossing the question out quickly to see his response.
Will hesitated. He vaugely remembered the name from history lessons in the Ward, but he couldn't remember any details. Still, he decided he'd try to bluff his way through it...
"Oh ... yes," he said, "King Herbert. We learned about him."
"Really?" said the Ranger expansively. "Perhaps you could tell me a little about him?" He leaned back and crossed his legs, getting himself comfortable...
"He was ..." he hesitated, pretending to gather his thoughts. "The king." That much he was sure of. Halt merely smiled and made a rolling gesture with his hand that meant go on.
"He was the king ... a hundred and fifty years ago," Will said, trying to sound certain of his facts. The Ranger smiled at him, gesturing for him to continue yet again.
"Ummm ... well, I seem to recall that he was the one who founded the Ranger Corps," he said hopefully, and Halt raised his eyebrows in mock surprise.
"Really? You recall that, do you?”

“The glove suddenly feels much heavier, now, more dense. The rush of power didn鈥檛 come through me, but wrapped around me; invisible and strangely empty, like a purely mechanical force. It wasn鈥檛 like I just got stronger; it was separate from me, like something stepped in and punched him instead of me. I pull the glove off gingerly, half afraid I鈥檒l punch my own fingers off.”
― Bill Blais, No Good Deed

“A woman with super long platinum blonde hair, a fake tan, injected bubble gum pink lips, and a large boob job came in. Phoebe showed her where to set up in front of us and we all sat patiently.

"Hello, I鈥檓 Tandy" I almost rolled my eyes at her name, given her appearance. She placed a case on the coffee table in front of us, opened it, and pulled out rubber penises. I almost shot my drink out of my nose, again. "I will be instructing you on proper blow job technique."

"Oh my God, Phoebe." I shouted at her.

"Yeah," Viola clapped her hands and reached out to be the first to get a rubber practice penis.”
― Sadie Grubor, Save the Date

“Look, I didn鈥檛 ask for any of this, but I鈥檓 here now. I get that it鈥檚 dangerous. I get that I鈥檓 fat. I get that I鈥檓 about as far from prepared for this insanity as you can get. But I鈥檒l tell you something about me: I don鈥檛 quit. So enough with the let鈥檚-scare-the-fat-girl routine, okay?”
― Bill Blais, No Good Deed
