“I’ve been buried, but I’m not dead. I’m not dead. I can’t breathe. What is that sound? Is someone here? No, it’s me, crying and using precious air… Tremors shake my entire body, but the box I’m in does not shift at all.”— Bethany Griffin, amazon.com
“I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.”— Dean Koontz, amazon.com
“In case you didn't know, dead people don't bleed. If you can bleed-see it, feel it-then you know you're alive. It's irrefutable, undeniable proof. Sometimes I just need a little reminder.”— Amy Efaw, amazon.com
“You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it.”— Clive Barker, amazon.com
