“This scrappy attitude is not the empty bluster of a fearful ego with a yellow comb-over seeking to preserve itself. It is a knowing of one's own strength, fortified by the mortal dangers of poverty, labor, mysogyny, White supremacy. It is the Statue of Liberty looking a bully in the eye in a barroom and saying to someone standing behind her, "Hold my torch.”

“And humans? They might not have big claws or immortality or the ability to phase through walls like some kind of video-game boss. They didn’t command armies of darkness or speak in frequencies that could shatter reality. But they had other shit. They were stubborn as hell — resourceful in ways that bordered on pure insanity. Back us into a corner, threaten what we love, and we become absolutely fucking vicious. Sean had a gun, a bad attitude, and friends worth dying for. This is Sparta, motherfuckers.” — K.J. Eraets, Hollow Deep: The Echo of the Dark Forest (2025)”

“Suddenly there was a deafening crash on the edge of the trench. I got a blow on the skull, and fell forward unconscious. When I came round, I was dangling head down over the breech of a heavy machine-gun, staring down at a pool of blood that was growing alarmingly fast on the floor of the trench. The blood was running down so unstoppably that I lost all hope. As my escort assured me he could see no brains, I took courage, picked myself up, and trotted on. That was what I got for being so foolish as to go into battle without a steel helmet.”
