Penelope Przekop
“Life isn't mapped out for us, Tom," I say. "We can change! We can do it together. Let's not give up on each other now. There is too much to lose; I love you.”
Penelope Przekop, Centerpieces

M.K. Williams
“The universe had just been upended. All of the pieces and places, the people and the particles, slid off a grand checkerboard and crashed into the ground, scattershot.”
M.K. Williams, The Infinite-Infinite
