â I wish you would have told me. â
â You didnât tell your sisters what you saw. â
â Some things canât be told. You live them or you donât. â
â Mom says that a house is like a body. â
â All this time we tried to get into this room, now we canât get the fuck out! â
â I donât feel anything. â
â Iâm scared. Thatâs all I am. â
â Thereâs nothing left. Iâm only scared. â
â Itâs just a house. â
â Itâs very different in the night. Itâs different in the dark. â
â What if I dream that you kill us? â
â Do you think thereâs a thing worse than that? â
â I donât think thereâs anything worse than that. â
â Did you just punch me in the boob? â
â Someone ask you what you think? â
â Iâm so proud of you. Youâre doing so well. â
â Iâm glad youâre here. â
â I should have made more of an effort with you. â
â You tried as best you could. â
â I should have met you halfway. â
â I guess you donât get that, you donât really get it until you fuck up. â
â You like to fix things. â
â Youâre good at fixing things. I keep hearing this about you, is that right? â
â Iâm not so sure anymore. â
â Who do you think did this? â
â Itâs not as bad as it is in your head. â
â Most of what people say at a funeral is a wish. â
â Now you stand there and you talk about ghosts and spirits. â
â How do you know that? â
â Itâs a twin thing. â
â This house is bad. â
â These will help with the cold. â
â What are you, um, looking at? â
â She fucking knew better. And she did it anyway. â
â Weâre tougher than other kids. â
â We make ourselves really safe. And no one ever gets in. â
â Just because you care about them doesnât mean they wonât burn you. â
â Youâre scared. I can tell. â
â Be sure to let your imagination get the best of you. Thatâs the first step. â
â Imagine the worst thing possible. Assume itâs true. Then go from there. â
â Iâm drawing boundaries, which is something you should look in to. â
â How long do we have to live here? â
â When we die, we turn into stories; and every time someone tells one of those stories, itâs like weâre still here for them. â
â Weâre all stories in the end. â
â I love you completely, and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti. â
â Someone shouldâve told her she didnât have to try this hard. â
â Pandas donât eat macaroni. â
â And Iâm just- Iâm just floating in this ocean of nothing, and I wonder if this is it, if this is what death is. â
â Journeys end in lovers meeting. â
â Iâve seen a lot of ghosts. Just not the way you think. â
â To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. â
â Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls. â
â A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. â
â When youâre little, you learn how to see things that arenât there. And when you grow up, you learn how to make them real. â
â Fear and guilt are sisters. â
â No live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. â
â Most times, a ghost is a wish. â
â All I could think of when I got a look at the place from the outside was what fun it would be to stand out there and watch it burn down. â
â Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. â
â I feel a little clearer just now. â
â I feel like Iâve been here before. â
â You have to live. â
â I donât know how to do this without you. â
â Thereâs no without. I am not gone. â
â Iâm scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow. â
â Thereâs so much I want to say to you all. â
â Iâm so sorry our last words were in anger. â
â Iâm sorry if I didnât listen, and Iâm sorry⌠â
â It wouldnât have changed anything. â
â I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. â
â What were you feeling before? â
â I was feeling fear. And⌠And guilt. â
