Here is mine from my recent comic!
“However, a portion of herself will be blackened forever– festering into the light and deforming it. For when one is far away from the gray line that separates good and evil, it is easy to spot the difference; but, the closer one gets to that line, the bigger that gray is.”

“Can you stay away from your family?” Milo’s voice was shaky but firm, and every word laced with the raw pain he’d been holding back.
Kiet’s expression faltered for a brief moment, confusion flashing in his eyes as he took in the unexpected question. “What?” he demanded, his tone sharp, but there was a hint of something else—hesitation.
“Can you stay away from your family, Kiet?” Milo repeated, his voice stronger now. “Because that’s what you’re asking me to do. You’re asking me to cut off the people who love me, who I love. Can you do that? Could you?”
My favorite paragraph:
The haunting melody piercing the silence of the night. The words pierced my heart, each line dripping with despair and longing. I could feel the anguish in her voice, a mother's cry echoing through the night. Yet, there was a glimmer of hope in the way she sang, a yearning for something more.

Just one? Yikes. That's honestly too hard to pick, but here are a few of them from my different novels:
The endless hum of over-bright. LED. electric lights. sings in my ears like a chorus of skittish cicadas, fanning their wings, as if they’re desperate to escape. I can’t blame them. Trembling like a miniature earthquake. My body tries to make sense of this cataclysm that’s left my world seeing stars.
My head spins again, turning bodies topsy turvy. Smearing faces into the paint. Baptized with blood in the white space. I’m not even sure when I woke up or how long I’ve spent lying here, staring at the walls or the ceiling. My senses are all scrambled. Am I facing the left or the right? Am I hearing or feeling the voices crashing around me, a barrage of nervous wrecks? I swim in the excruciating sensation, almost blacking out. I feel as though I'm hanging from the rafters by my hair, and the pressure in my neck only increases with every crash of my heartbeat. My mouth defies me as I try to call for a nurse - my jaw is locked tight as if it’s been screwed shut and it's stubbornly set on staying that way for the moment. The whole thing fills. With bitter bile. I can’t swallow. And I try desperately not to drown before somebody finds me.
Whether we like it or not things are what they are.
I used to wish for a ‘real life,’ a ‘real family,’ a ‘real mother,’ a ‘real home,’ and ‘real’ peace. But that grouchy woman with the slurred speech, that little box with the slurred colors on the misprinted wallpaper, that cluster of colored bodies with slurs at the end of their tongues, this slurry of light places and heavy, of waking and sleeping, of dulled feeling and dulled senses and dulled want blurring together and smudging out my hand into something I can’t even bring into focus IS real.
Just objectively ugly.
It seems dichotomous, the things I’ve learned to crave. Silence when there is none. Human conversation when there is none beyond meals brought. Doors locked and unlocked. Passing shadows and whiffs of perfume in eternally empty hallways.
I would cry when they were staring at me.
I would cry when I slept through the unlocking of my room and went a day without seeing anyone at all.

On cue, a massive hole ripped in the sky back over the remains of Hanakawa. From it emerged a single humanoid corrupted without a face, bearing six wings and a thorned halo above its head. Without a mouth, its voice spoke directly into Kaito's mind, yet he instinctually knew that its message's intended audience was not him.
"Rejoice, my underlings, for the one closest to God has arrived"
I run my fingers gently over the places the wrinkles will be the next time I blink, and wonder if I have enough time left in this castle of ice we call Life to make realities of all the things that are still only daydreams.
I want to visit Andrew in Mexico - to go on that long vacation we keep planning, hitting all the islands in the Greater Antilles - to make my own sunset masterpiece.
To be a mother.
I used to dream…before that abstract noun became a dirty word.
Oh, I gotta get in on this!!! I have 3 paragraphs unfortunately but I'm excited to share them. They are from my upcoming chapter of The Scarlet Thread (Releases tomorrow at 10 AM PT)
Hopefully it's enough to entice you to read it, as it's my favorite chapter I've ever written (made me cry writing and reading it, just saying 
) Anyway, here it is!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" Leo's voice rang out, filled with horror and rage. He shoved the knights aside, dropping to his knees beside Auriella.
His eyes were wide with fear, his hands trembling as he tried to press down on her wounds to stop the bleeding.
"Auriella, please! Stay with me!" He begged, tears streaming down his face. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. If I'd known this was going to happen, I would've never made you come. Please...don't die."
