― Steve B McGlaughlin

“The other member of the small band of friends was Daisy, a fawn-coloured dairy cow with a lovely heart.

Her inability to ever recreate that “incredible grass eating day” was a topic she often returned to.”

“…fresh, bottomless powder is the Holy Grail, but pow is elusive. True enlightenment can be found in things like soft corduroy on a 27-degree bluebird day.

“I shall go mad," she whispered to herself, perched amidst the fields of WIMBERGALE's countryside. There, in that moment, Sophia recognized that she alone held mastery over
the unfolding scene. Extending her arms and palms repeatedly, she presented an enticing offering to the natural seed-eaters of the Columbidae family. This ritual persisted for
hours, gradually evolving into a customary midday practice, a cherished routine that connected Sophia intimately with the rhythms of nature.

“He assumed a good prone, legs splayed and bent a little, right leg pulled up a bit more than the left, both feet turned out with the heels down. He rested the forestock on his pack, wrapping the sling around his left arm. There was some debate about this technique, but Mick was squarely in the two-wrap camp. He didn’t slip his left hand under the buttstock but instead slid it along the forestock until it reached that old familiar spot, and he tucked the rifle into his shoulder good. You wanted to get it tucked in just right, because that big magnum was one rifle that spoke with authority. You pull the trigger on a .338 Win Mag, especially from the prone with Mick’s bear loads, and it’ll make a man out of you right then and there.
…
Mick kept still for just a second, taking the weight of the rifle in his bones and letting gravity take him and make him part of the Earth itself. He put the crosshairs exactly where he wanted them, paused his breathing at the natural break after a normal exhale, then simply willed that beautiful custom trigger to break. Break it did, crisp and clean like always, and the 225 grain bullet flew downrange at almost three thousand feet per second. It reached the deck in less than half a second, about a half second before the sound of the shot.

“What would you be willing to sacrifice to have a loved one back for a minute, a day, or a lifetime?"

After my son Alex was killed by a drunk driver, I had a dream in which I was asked this question. Once I started thinking about it, I realized I would give up everything, and it later evolved into a science fiction book. I modeled the main character after my son. Alex's mannerisms and attitude became the basis for Xavier's character development. Xavier is a clone who does not know he is a clone nor who is controlling his fate. With his friends' help, he must uncover the people behind the conspiracy to create a shadow government and locate the others known as the Zodiac Thirteen.”
― Evelyn D. Eckert

“Hold on, and I’ll drive the darkness back!—
Whispers the lunar prince to the stranded sheep, tenderly,
While he puts on the adorned crown of night,
And while the winds are wrestling it out devoid of senses.
Hold on even as the stars have disappeared from sight,
And the herd has abandoned you to the wolves.
Hold on to that last bit of life you have!
Hold out throughout the seeming strife,
And I promise the clock will not strike twelve.
Hold out until my hand reaches to your rescue,
Hold on to the very last moment!—I will do it.”
― Vladimir Hlocky, Journeys Beyond Earth
