“Patrick hadn't been to a party since he was five years old, when the clamor of twenty over-sugared children in such disorganized proximity had led to a meltdown on a scale rarely witnessed during musical chairs. The very word 'party' had the power to trigger in him flashbacks of wailing classmates, overturned furniture, and a big brown dog gulping down spilled jelly.” ChildrenHumorPartyClamorMeltdownsFlashbacksMusical Chairs Book:Rubbernecker Source: Rubbernecker
“Did you ever play that game as a child- the one where there's a circle of chairs, and when the music stops playing you have to find a chair to sit in? But there's never enough chairs for everyone, so one person is always left without a seat in the circle and then tossed out of the game. That's how I feel, as if I missed my chance at a chair and now I've been tossed out of the game.” ForgottenAloneStephanie GarberOnce Upon A Broken HeartMarisolMarisol TourmalineMusical Chairs Book:Once Upon a Broken Heart Source: Once Upon a Broken Heart
“It was as if I'd lost some cosmic game of musical chairs; the song had stopped, I was left standing, and there was simply nothing to be dine about it.” LossCosmicStoicismMusical Chairs Book:The City of Mirrors Source: The City of Mirrors
