       " "They're coming for me, understand? I don't know how they found me after all these years, but they did. What am I supposed to fight them with, the goddamned butter knife?" " (page 22)

I'm reading this one for Just a Lil LOST in a Great Book read-a-long and so far it's creepy and interesting!
