"Sam, can you, you know, like burn that concrete off her hands?"No. I can't aim that precisely."I don't even know what can be done, Edilio said as he fed the girl another microscopic bite of food.

Probably break every bone in her hands, man."Who would have done this to her? Lana wondered."That's a Coates Academy uniform, Astrid answered. "We're probably not far from there."

"I don't care what your excuse is, I don't care what you think God told you to do, if you are in the business of closing children's minds and obliterating their capacity to imagine, and depriving them of a capacity to laugh, then you are a criminal.

Shame."
