The truth might be moral, but it isn't always right.
“What had been built to seem so solid was fragile in the face of time because time is impassive, more animal than human. Time would not care if you fell out of it. It would continue on without you.” (from “The Midnight Zone”)
“The wind played the chimney until the whole place wheezed like a bagpipe.” (from “Eyewall”)
“everybody is sleeping save for the tree frogs and the sinners” (from “Snake Stories”)
“How lonely it would be, the mother thinks, looking at her children, to live in this dark world without them.” (from “Yport”)
Kol vaikštau, mūsų rajone sutemsta ir ant dieninio rajono išsivynioja antras rajonas. Gatvės žibintų pas mus nedaug, praeinant po jais mano šešėlis ima dūkti: atsilieka, atšuoliuoja prie kojų, nustriksi pirmyn. Kiti šviesos šaltiniai – tik praeinamų namų langai ir mėnuo, įsakantis man pakelti akis, pakelti akis! Po kojomis nardo laukinės katės, iš šešėlių stirkso strelicijos, į orą iškvepiami kvapai – ąžuolo dulkių, gleivūnų, kamparo. [p. 9]
