“not be afraid anymore of making love and alligators”

“Don’t wake me, I plan on sleeping in”

“your arms and legs stretched in four directions”

“I panicked on the fourth day when I realized…”

“My boyfriend knew that the cat was him”

“I want my ashes to dance, to root, to get kicked along and blown about”

“A bone juts out at an acute angle from my left arm”

“Stepped into the after without missing a beat”

“death still lurked out there, just waiting for me.”

“Everything I had ever been was a mouth”

“I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid of not living.”

“Vertigo. It runs in my veins.”

“Our villains don’t get funerals. We have unmarked their tombstones.”

“My therapist says medicine is making great strides”

“The strangest thing about someone dying is that it isn’t strange at all.”

“but the dead have always served as cautions to the living”

“I should be cast out to sea”

“And then I just was still. Eyes open. Done breathing.”

“The part I would regret. The part that’s almost here”
