Want to Read $ 14.95"Fight or flight, fight or flight, fight or flight. But women aren't meant to do that anymore, Iris has learned. Stay and suffer through. Or lose your job, your house, your kids, your dog, your sanity, your self-respect, your life. Stand and stay and suffer in what you've been trained to think is noble silence."-Megan Gail Coles, Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club
"This is why people are chasing their aces all over the poorest bays. Not because they've some genuine belief that they will catch the card. They can barely catch a break at all. A century of impoverishment and industry collapse, pillaging and recrimination, has taught them not to hope for much but a bit of fun when the cards are cut."-Megan Gail Coles, Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club
"Just joking with ya, b'y. He said this readily in an unmistakable smirking way. But everyone knew he was never just joking. Not even a little bit joking. The claim provided him cover to make asinine remarks at everyone. He cloaked himself in a facade sense of humour cape, draped it over his own shoulders and across his face with every barb he sent into the world. If shots were not met with uncomfortable laughter, Rog advised any human hurt to get a sense of humour. Like his. This was just another coded way of saying once again that the hurt man, any hurt man, was like a woman. Blow that whistle he did. Our jokester felt certain being like a woman was the worst way to be and slandered them all female."-Megan Gail Coles, Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club
