His gaze, lowered toward the ground, slowly, leisurely drifts up, until it slams into mine with the heavy force of steel against steel. The green is back, emerald flames dancing behind clouds of black and grey. And with just that single look, his head slightly dipped, I know .. . Here, right now, I’m the one with all the power. T.L. Martin
About This Quote

This quote from "Anatomy of a Scene" is a powerful reminder that while we may have the power to harm others, we should never abuse this power. In this quote, the author describes a scenario in which he is in complete control of another person. The other person knows not what is happening and has no idea how to react. The other person can feel everything that is happening to them, but they cannot do anything because they have no idea what is going on. This quote illustrates the power of manipulation and shows that while the other person may be in a state of confusion, you have all the power.
