“Once, I kissed someone and I’m afraid it ruined the world. I’ve learned it’s not what you do with the knife—it’s how you hold it after. But how do you hold something like that? Something that never stops baring its teeth; a voiceless dog, all bite, no bark.”

— Yasmin Belkhyr, from “Surah Al-Fatiha,” Bone Light

What did I know about being hunted? I knew everything. The meek don’t inherit shit—I stuffed my mouth with pine needles and spit, bled and spit, at the root, and look where it’s got me—landless.

— Taylor Johnson, from “Virginia Slim,” Inheritance
