devils and gods

[intertribal]

Stephen King's words are actually the only ones I remember, although other authors spin better stories in better ways, overall. 

[some are phrases, some are just words.]

The Shining:  "redrum"
It:  "He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts"
Storm of the Century:  "give me what I want and I'll go away" and "my name is legion, for we are many" [which is biblical, I know, but Stephen King introduced it to me]
The Nightflier:  "Dwight Renfield... flew in from Derry... nice fella... different... said he was flying out tonight... said he'd stop to say goodbye."
Jerusalem's Lot:  "there are SOME rats in these walls!"
Dreamcatcher:  "same shit, different day." [SSDD for short]
Pet Sematary:  "the ground there is stonier than a man's heart" and "sometimes, death is a blessing."

My mother had a slasher moment today, by accident.  We were at an Indian restaurant and we looked up at a tapestry and she said, "Oh, it's... Rama and Krishna, right?"  And then rapidly corrected herself: "Rama and Sita, I mean."  It made me wonder if yaoi fangirls (some of my friends have worse terms for them) ever ship mythological figures... some of them, Krishna in particular, seem like they could be bisexual.  I'm guessing not.  I suppose that would be boring... or perhaps, they are just not hot enough, those deities.

one more thing before I go
one more thing I'll ask you, Lord
you may need a murderer
someone to do your dirty work
don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fist into the Earth
and I've read your books
seems that you could use another fool
well, I'm cruel
and I look right through
you must have more important things to do
so if you need a murderer...
