| 2. Someone had centered the body on a thick wool blanket and arranged it in an unrealistic pose. "Julia, dead bodies aren't supposed to move," I said with a chuckle. "My nose itches," she replied. "Either I scratch it or you do, Rachel." -Death Of A Scavenger by Karin Kaufman- |  |
 | 3. As long as Hamilton Jones had breath in his body, nothing, not even tooth decay, would hurt his little girl. "Seriously, Ham? It's cotton candy, not meth. Let the poor girl taste a cloud of pure sugar." -The Price Of Valor by Susan May Warren- |
| 4. People considered him homeless because he didn't have an address of his own, but Harvey James would've been homeless even if he owned the turreted mansion off State Route 460. -The Edge Of Belonging by Amanda Cox- |  |
 | 5. "There are two kinds of people in this world." Riley Thomas did his famous eyebrow cock at me from across the smooth wooden table at the coffeehouse. "And that would be?" I swirled the remainder of my hazelnut latte before meeting his gaze with a cocked eyebrow of my own. "Those who drink their coffee black and those who don't." -Suspicious Minds by Christy Barritt- |
| 6. In the deceitful calm of the days preceding disaster, while Rhodes still glittered like a white jewel in the Aegean, Tessa of Delos planned to open her wrists. The death of her body was long overdue. Her soul had died ten years ago. Ten years this day. -Shadow Of Colossus by Tracy Higley- |  |
