Quotes I love

• Door to number 103 has begun to open again. Prank calls. No one here. Tracy Waters is dead.

• “One Vertebra is smushing down into the one below. They say I have to have surgery, but I can’t do it, I’m too Neurotic.” -Heather

• “You can’t take business classes. You’re a Fell girl. I know it already.” - Heather

• Which meant I needed to work nights at the Sun Down Motel. “Okay,” I said. “I’ll do it. What could possibly go wrong?”
