“You make me hate my life.”
“What’s her problem?” asked Tyler.
“Weren’t you listening to that slightly angry monologue she was just giving?” asked Steve, “It’s totally you.”
“It’s locked,” said Kara.
“Let’s just break in,” said Ally and they both stared at her.
“I’ve been a bad influence on you haven’t I?” asked Kit.
“No, not at all,” said Ally as she pulled out a lock-picking kit to Kit’s weird look, “Well only a little bit. Okay, maybe mostly. Yes, you’ve been a bad influence.”
“You wouldn’t know logic if it came up to you, started screaming in your face then bit you. You’d probably just assume it was a vampire and kill it.”
~ Sam Williams
“Nope.”
“Yep.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“NO!”
“Yes.”
“I said ‘no’.”
“But you mean ‘yes’.”
“I hate you.”
“Thanks for seeing my side.”
“I’m the kind of person who’ll risk her life to save her best friend. And you’re the kind of best friend who’ll put me in a bunch of situations where I’ll need to risk my life in order to save you.”
“Nothing’s worth throwing your life away.”
“But you always say that you’re willing to die for your cause.”
“Those are two completely different things.”
“You know that thin line between insanity and genius? I’m that a girl running down it screaming and throwing things at people on either side of it. None of whom want to know where I’m getting the random things I’m chucking at them.”
“I know, I know, I’m being crazy.”
“Do you ever wear anything that’s not black?”
“I wear grey.”
“Grey is a form of black.”
“Well then no.”

“A rose by any other name might work better in poetry because the word ‘rose’ rhymes with nothing that has to do with roses.”
“Charleston Chews, Chewy flavored Nougat-.”
“What’s Nougat?”
“It is a candy with a delicious chocolaty coating. ‘Chocolaty’ that means no real chocolate was used in the production of this candy.”
“Things to do, people to see, demons to kill.”
“It’s just one, average, totally ordinary, completely boring, day in the life of me.”
“You run into a lot of trouble?”
“Run into, cause, whatever.”
Kit walked though the grocery store.
“God, the stuff people make, sell, buy and then eat.” She picked up a few jars labeled honey, cheese and chocolate flavored peanut butter.
“Kit, you’re beginning to scare me,” said Tyler.
“Beginning!? Where have you been?” asked Lizzy.
“Sorry about that, lost my temper. In fact this is the first time I’ve lost it like this and nothing’s blown up,” said Kit and a vase across the chamber exploded, “Damn it!”
“I guess I write a lot and when I’m done. I look at what I’ve written. And I every time I think the same thing: ‘In my handwriting some words look more like doodles than actual words’.”
“May you live in interesting times.”
“Isn’t that an ancient Chinese curse?”
“This is just nasty.”
“She’s the team leader?”
“That’s kind of what I meant when I said ‘she’s the team leader’.”
“I figure I’m going to hell anyway, so I might as well have fun while I’m here.”
“Why me? Why is it always me?”
“Kit Thompson, use reason,” said Sam.
“Like I have any of that.”
“An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
“Well that just leaves you with a bunch of toothless blind men.”
“Charleston Chews, Chewy flavored Nougat-.”

“I am smarter than you.”
“Quite simply, you are a moron.”
“He’s an old friend,” said Kit.
“You seem angry,” said Kent.
“Yep.”
“Are you going to punch him in the face?”
“I was kind of planning on it.”
“You say ‘why’ a lot it annoys me,” said Kit.
“Why?” asked Lizzy.
“I’m going to hurt you.”
“I remember this time I was shrunk down,” said Kit.
“What does that have to do with anything?” asked Ally.
“Nothing, but it’s a funny story.”
“I wonder what locker locks think about all day.”
“Kit, I’m pretty sure that they don’t think.”
“I think they do. And they see everything.”
“That’s creepy.”
“Well I will, I mean I have, well it’s like happened but not yet but already,” said Kit, “Time travel makes verbs annoying.”
“Seriously, it’s funny.”
“But Kit, what you find funny, we just find disturbing.”
“So?”
“What the hell-?”
“Don’t ignore me, I’m needy.”
“Please, leave, me, alone.”
“My first impressions of Tyler and Lizzy: they were nerds.”
“Have you ever noticed how stop lights look like eyes and how no matter what color they are they always look evil?”
“I’m having an ADD moment.”
“Why? Why the hell am I bothering? You’re just going to screw it up anyway.”
“Why does it feel like I’m trapped in a crappy Sci-Fi movie?”
“Quite simply, you are a moron.”
“He’s an old friend,” said Kit.
“You seem angry,” said Kent.
“Yep.”
“Are you going to punch him in the face?”
“I was kind of planning on it.”

“People stopped trying to understand Kit a long time ago.”
~ Steve Peterson
“She’s an arrogant little know-it-all,” said Marian.
“Who could have helped if you let her,” said Rachel.
“You can be very scary sometimes, you know, Kit?”
~ Kara Price
“Who knew you could be smart?”
“I’m proud of every single one of you, I really am.”
“Tell me, Kit Thompson, what is precious to you? Tell me so you can watch it being destroyed,” said The Great Dark One.
“Everything is precious to me - every person, creature, demon, animal, plant and rock. I love it all, the good, the bad and most definitely the weird. I love this world and every other world. In fact Kalamazalamara, even you are precious to me.”
“I’m not sure if I believe in God and if there is a God all I know is he sure as hell does not like me.”
“Sometimes it’s better to run.”
“I’ve been here and there; I’ve been all around this world and others like it. I’ve been to the past and the future. I’ve even been dead. And so I can honesty say that there is no place like home.”
“The world’s safe,” said Ally, “What are you going to do now?”
“Sleep a lot.”
“You do realize that I’m not idiot?”
“I love messing with clueless people. It’s just so easy.”
Kit ran into the lab, looked at a sign on a table and read, “Do not touch under any circumstances, very dangerous.” She tossed the sign away and picked up the device.
“You do realize that I can hear you right?”
“I once designed a website for controlling people’s minds,” said Kit.
“Well that’s definitely creepy,” said James, “And weird, how’d you do it?”
“Me…her…I…she…we…it,” said Kit, “I hate pronouns, and evil clones but mostly I hate pronouns.”

“Knock first or die screaming.”
“You can get used to anything, even killing.”
“They said that it was glorious victory.”
“Then they weren’t the winners.”
“Huh?”
“Winners never talk about glorious victories.”
“Why?”
“That’s because they’re the ones who get to see what the battlefield looks like afterward. It’s the only the losers who have glorious victories.”
“I said she was ignoring us, I didn’t say she wasn’t paying attention.”
~ Steve Peterson
“Sometimes when adults speak all I hear is blah, blah, blah.”
“I wasn’t meant to be in the world of the light and living. I am a part of the world of the dark and the sort of dead and I always will be.”
“The world needed a miracle so I went out and got one. It’s just that the miracle that’s going to save the world is going to end up killing me.”
“My name’s Kit, that’s all you need to know.”
“Just so you know, you annoy me and I hate you.”
“Can you try not to be stupid for one second, please?”
“I’m going to tell you a story, my story. It’s going to be in my words, how I remember it or in some special cases from what I can piece together. It isn’t a happy story so if that’s what you want, close this book right now. If you want the truth keep reading. It’ll be hard but if you want to know how it ends keep reading.”
“They seem boring.”
“Hey I think she’s cute.”
~ Kent Star
“You will soon learn that I do not care.”
“She’s just totally amazing, guys, if you could just meet her.”
~ Leon Hayes
“See, here’s the thing Jack,” said Kit, “I trust you.” She let go and let herself fall.
“You can get used to anything, even killing.”
“They said that it was glorious victory.”
“Then they weren’t the winners.”
