Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. It was too hard, too painful… except when it was perfect. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. He was my addiction… my every desire… mine. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private wounds…and desires.The bonds of his love transformed me, even as i prayed that the torment of our pasts didn’t tear us apart…Īs beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily… I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness…

We’ve got to do it collectively, and we’ve got a ways to go.”ĪBOUT NORTHWESTERN STATE (3-7): The Demons hit 43.1 percent of their shots against the Sooners, but their season-long problems protecting the ball persisted as they had 23 turnovers and only seven assists. “We don’t have a team that can do it independently. “(We had) too many self-inflicted gunshot wounds with charging into people, putting our head down and trying to do it independently,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiwak said in his postgame news conference. The Utes shot 46.4 percent from the floor in the game, but the Cougars hit 51.9 percent of their shots, including 10-of-20 from 3-point range, and enjoyed a 33-28 rebound advantage. The latest loss came Saturday night in Provo as host BYU took control and never trailed en route to a 77-65 win after Utah took an early 10-9 lead.

With the help of her best friend, a matador’s son, Elena begins secretly training to compete with the greatest. In the world premiere play by Monet Hurst-Mendoza, previously workshopped at the Alley All New festival, Elena Ramírez wants to enter the almost exclusively man’s world of bullfighting. One young woman attempts to break through the red glass cape (capa de brega) in this coming-of-age story. I’m sure many will find this nonsensical, bizarre, maybe pointless, yet there’s something memorable and almost poetic about the book. There’s something visceral in the narrative, making this a book with an amorphous emotional impact. The most obvious nuance is one of change. I’ve heard the character writing the letters is female, but I never picked up on that and saw the letter writer as male, lost and adrift, having travelled to Tainaron seeking a promise that may never be fulfilled unless it’s found within. We never know the recipient of these letters and only get to know the writer obliquely.

She was questioned by Poirot after the death of the Linnet, due to possibilities for her to witness the murder. She is the maid of Linnet Doyle, the novel's first and primary victim. Louise Bourget is a minor character and the second victim in Agatha Christie's 1937 Hercule Poirot novel Death on the Nile and its adaptations. ~ Louise Bourget's famous testimony to Poirot note the use of "if" and "perhaps" in her sentence that implied she was lying. Naturally, if I had been unable to sleep, if I had mounted the stairs, then perhaps I might have seen this assassin, this monster, enter or leave Madame’s cabin, but as it is - Monsieur, I implore you - you see how it is? What can I say? Let The Right One In is most notable for being simultaneously heartwarming and horrifying. It's a love story mixed into a horror story with plenty of blood to flow from there.
