Insights from A Wild Sheep Chase (The Rat, #3)
“I like his ears. They're unique.”
Living an ordinary life can feel like a slow disappearance. The protagonist just drifts through his days until a weird photo changes everything.
“A mediocre life is a lot like a mediocre movie.”
Solitude in a cold mountain house reveals who you really are. Without a phone or a job, your own thoughts become the loudest thing in the room.
“The Rat was a friend of mine. A real friend.”
Old friendships often end without a big fight. Sometimes people just slide into different worlds and leave a hole behind that you can't fill.
“The sheep is inside you now.”
Power is a hungry thing that doesn't care about the people it uses. It just needs a body to occupy for a while.
