❝ He must have been a hearty devil. ❞

❝ In this life, there are hungers that compel us; food, shelter, warmth, even poetry. But one thing stands titanic… love. ❞

❝ And so fight I did. One of the few survivors who lived to bring you this tale of pluck and daring.❞

❝ My guilt is my own and that I carry with me. It is my present and my future. It has damned me well beyond this short life of mine. ❞

❝ But I suppose we all play parts. ❞

❝ You ever wish you could be someone else? Just run away from your life? ❞

❝ I wonder when was the moment you knew you wanted to fuck her? ❞

❝ And what do you seek to escape? ❞

❝ Was every new-born creature abandoned the moment they were born? ❞

❝ From now on, you fuck me like anyone else, after you’ve paid. ❞

❝ So have the courage to face your own sin before you cite mine so easily. ❞

❝ I’m sorry I left you. I’m sorry for the cruelty you’ve endured.❞

❝ That’s where we were last night; where some unfortunate souls are cursed to live always. ❞

❝ I see things sometimes. I am affected by forces beyond our world. ❞

❝ You can hear that in the music, can’t you? And her heartbreak, you can hear that. ❞

❝ Fear already? You will not survive long in this cruel, old world. ❞

❝ Will I see you again? ❞

❝ Were you really so naive to imagine that we’d see eternity in a daffodil? ❞

❝ Excuse me, I need some air. ❞

❝ The moment you realise you are no longer the hunter, you are the prey. ❞

❝ I’m not concerned with the past, only the future. ❞

❝ I write in hope that one day you will answer me and that everything can again be like it was… ❞

❝ Were ever two families closer than ours? ❞

❝ And if she’s your kind of lady, you can bloody well enjoy her! ❞

❝ Truest love, my most adored, I speak this night of things abhorred. ❞

❝ We’ve all done things to survive. ❞

❝ I’ll not waste your time. I’m looking for money. ❞

❝ More than the shock, the sinfulness, the forbidden act, there was this: I enjoyed it. ❞

❝ When he fucked me, he would put one of those big hands over my face and turn it away, so he wouldn’t have to look into my eyes. ❞

❝ So the darkness spoke, but you listened. ❞

❝ But I will not rest until you are safe. There is no other purpose in my life. ❞

❝ I shall love you always. ❞

❝ No, no, I don’t want to sleep. ❞

❝ When the next one occurs, I shall need to see the crime scene immediately. ❞

❝ I’m bloodthirsty. She’s just ghoulish. ❞

❝ God, how I envied you. Perhaps I even hated you. ❞

❝ [Name], it’s time for you to come home. You can’t run away forever. ❞

❝ I told myself it was no more than mischief. But I knew it was more. ❞

❝ Can you believe it? Finally having that adventure we talked about. ❞

❝ Perhaps you’d like to know my name then. ❞

❝ You should have kissed me… Will you kiss me now? ❞

❝ Perhaps I was just cherishing the secrecy of it as a hidden sin. ❞

❝ I wonder what lips yours have kissed and where. ❞

❝ Your hands want to touch but your head wants to appraise. ❞

❝ Conjoined in this fashion, they translate roughly to an idea meaning ‘blood cure’ or ‘blood transformation.’ ❞

❝ Mother will punish you, you cock-sucking whore. ❞

❝ Is there another? Is there another creature like that? ❞

❝ A longing so deep and dark and rare, that only such as we can share. ❞

❝ The whole thing’s steeped in blood, so why not start there? ❞

❝ You’re a man with a bloody knife like everybody else out there, so stop putting on airs.❞

❝ They don’t know what’s wrong with you, darling. ❞

❝ This is obscene! You mustn’t! ❞

❝ How was it possible that you, always so meek and obliging, were to have this greatest of adventures before me? ❞

❝ I speak for the dead. For the undying. ❞

❝ We cannot unmake the past. We shall live with our guilt, you and I. ❞

❝ Did you imagine that I was dead? ❞

❝ Little girls shouldn’t play with toys like that. ❞

❝ Do you believe there is a demimonde, [Name]? A half world between what we know and what we fear? A place in the shadows, rarely seen, but deeply felt. Do you believe that? ❞

❝ As you grow up, you’ll learn we all do, things which cause us shame. ❞

❝ Before you go, one last task, if you’ll indulge me. ❞

❝ Who the fuck are you people? ❞

❝ Every action builds another link that binds us to it. That chain is everlasting. ❞

❝ Just know that you have made my visit here truly memorable. ❞

❝ You’re not mistaking me for a sweet little debutante at the summer fair, are you? ❞

❝ I would seek you even unto the maelstrom of the blackest tempest of the darkest night. ❞

❝ I love you enough to kill you. ❞

❝ We here have been brutalised with loss, it has made us brutal in return. ❞

❝ And so it was I learned mankind’s capacity for hatred, and mercy, in a single night. ❞

❝ You know, occurs to me, given my total self-absorption, I never asked your name. ❞

❝ Her gifts make her vulnerable. They also make her desirable. ❞

❝ I would weep for you if ever I’d learned how. ❞

❝ Stop your foolishness and do as I instruct. ❞

❝ Are these not the eyes that you looked into… once? ❞

❝ Despite her outward divinity, she had a monster within her, not unlike your [Name]. ❞

❝ Did you not feel me near, I wonder? Did you not feel my gravitational pull? ❞

❝ I didn’t expect you to be on time. ❞

❝ So much suffering. It is more than I deserve, but I can’t forgive myself. ❞

❝ Help me. Save me from him. Please. ❞

❝ There was a time I would gladly have killed you. There may come a time when I gladly shall. ❞

❝ But I love you in a different way. ❞

❝ How dare you presume to speak to me of death? ❞

❝ You know nothing of me. ❞

❝ There was such a need in her eyes and then something… monstrous. ❞

(  we  love  angst  on  this  blog,  what  can  we  say.  here’s  some  more  dialogue  prompts  for  you.  a  warning  for  potentially  triggering  themes  below.  )

❛ everything you touch, you ruin. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ you can’t make me disappear. ❜

❛ memories are only there to make you bleed. ❜

❛ i don’t need your permission. ❜

❛ don’t shut me out like this. ❜

❛ the less you know, the better. ❜

❛ i won’t stop killing until you kill me. ❜

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ you think i felt something for you? you’ve forgotten what i am. ❜

❛ the last time we talked, didn’t you say you wanted to kill me? ❜

❛ i felt something loosen in me that shouldn’t have been loosened. ❜

❛ pull yourself together. we have work to do. ❜

❛ stay back, i have a demon inside of me. ❜

❛ let me get closer, i have a hell inside of me where your demon can live. ❜

❛ people like that don’t deserve to live. ❜

❛ just do what you’re told. like you always do. ❜

❛ why do you have to make everyone hate you? ❜

❛ it’s better that you don’t get involved. ❜

❛ i’d do anything to make you stay. ❜

❛ who cares if it bleeds. ❜

❛ is this what you think love is? ❜

❛ just breathe through it. it gets easier. ❜

❛ don’t pretend that you cared about me. ❜

❛ i’m starting to think you like wasting my time. ❜

❛ we wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for me. ❜

❛ i will never, ever, give you a moment’s peace. ❜

❛ the world doesn’t hate us. but it doesn’t love us either. ❜

❛ it hurts that you still can’t trust me after all this time. ❜

❛ a darkness with voices is better than a silent void. ❜

❛ it’s safer to be feared, than loved. ❜

❛ am i not good enough for you? ❜

❛ a burnt child loves the fire. ❜

❛ i’m tired of dying. ❜

❛ what if you hurt because it feels good? ❜

❛ don’t try to fix me, i’m not broken. ❜

❛ if you want me to die, you can just say so. ❜

❛ you don’t have to be afraid of who you are. ❜

❛ that line disappears once you cross it. ❜

❛ how can i believe you after all you’ve done? ❜

❛ i won’t let you forget about me. ❜

❛ the person you once knew me as, died. ❜

❛ are you going to leave me again? ❜

❛ i have nothing i could offer you. ❜

❛ no one is going to save you. no one can. ❜

❛ maybe you’re / i’m already dead. ❜ 

❛ you have blood on your hands. ❜

❛ what, can’t take a punch? ❜

❛ i’m your mind giving you someone to talk to. ❜
