  1. Boy’s Life 3 By Robert McCammon

  2. Quotations • “ Our wings folded up and returned to their hidden sheaths in our hollow shoulder blades; the dog’s wings slid down into the flesh and sealed over with a rippling of hair—white, brown, red, brown and white spotted. Our torn shirts mended themselves, and no mother would ever know what had burst through them. We were drenched with sweat, our faces and arms shining with it, and as we became earthbound again we ceased our running and dropped exhausted to the grass.” • “I really think he was ready to kill somebody. Maybe it was the rage at being born a runt, of having a lisp, of attracting bullies like a weak calf makes a predator’s mouth water. Maybe he was full to the gullet with being shoved and taunted. Whatever it was, it was there like a deadly resolve in his eyes.”

  3. Quotations • . “ Things are tore up. In the land of the livin’ and the world of the dead. I know somethin’ was livin’ and the world of the dead. I knew somethin’ was wrong when Damballah denied his food. Jenna Velvadine told me what happened at your church Easter mornin’. That was the spirit world at work, too.” • “ Little bit off the top and thin the sides out?”

  4. Quotations • “ Fourteen men. Youngest was nineteen. Oldest was forty-two. Maybe some of ‘em deserved to die. Maybe that’s not for me to say. I killed ‘em, every one, in fair fights. But I was lookin’ to kill ‘em. I was lookin’ to make a big name for myself, be a big man. The day I got shot by a younger, faster fella, I decided I was livin’ on borrowed time. I cleared out.”
