Artist's Comments

Malingo began to clamber down out of the rafters. But before he could reach ground level, Candy was away.

She gave Kaspar a two-handed shove in the belly and then she raced back to the door between the rooms, darting through to the front room. Malingo was on the ground now. She could hear the slap of his bare feet as he raced over the tiled floor in pursuit of her. He was fast.
She was barely halfway across the room when he caught hold of her.

"Don't struggle," he said softly. "It'll be worse for the both of us if you fight him, believe me."

Hearing the delicacy in Malingo's voice, Candy looked up and met his gaze. There was a sweetness in his eyes she had not expected to find there, the Halloween horror of his face concealing something far gentler.

(Abarat by Clive Barker, Chapter 26)

"You wanna know why I am the way I am?

Because it's the only way I can go on living, the only way I can get myself out of bed and onto the battlefield.

Do you know what it's like living in a war zone?

It's not fun.

It can drive you kind of...crazy."
:iconevil-chibi:
hm, I like the quote you used, and the picture is awesome.
I've never heard of the book, though. I should go look for it 0w0
