"Here's a strange fact: murder a man, and you feel responsible for his life - possessive, even. You know more about him than his father and mother; they knew his fetus, but you know his corpse. Only you can complete the story of his life; only you know why his body has to be pushed into the fire before its time, and why his toes curl up and fight for another hour on earth."
I wonder what he was thinking when he wrote these lines. I know for sure, I've never thought of murder like this, but now I do.
Watch your back, Kelly.
That sent chills down my spine.
For our next meeting, we should just sit in silence, and when someone walks by, recite these words and then continue to sit in silence. If the person hears it, just glare at them longingly, then look away. No one will mess with us...no one.

Yeah, I highlighted this one, too. Parents know the fetus. Murderers know the corpse. Pretty powerful stuff. I've been wondering about Carol, now. And everyone I ever invited to the wine parties....
