- a short stay in hell, steven peck
- "did i know her only for so short a time? strange, how a moment of existence can cut so deeply into our being that while ages pass unnoticed, a brief love can structure and define the very topology of our consciousness ever after." (p. 6)
- "hell was a machine. except us. here, her hand in mine was the one reality that severed us from the cold click-clack of hell. i rubbed her hand and she sighed; wasn't that meaning? wasn't that something we could cling to?" (p. 57)
- "we were a team, rachel and i. oh, i miss her so much. i think our love could have lasted forever. i'm sure it would have." (p. 58)
