“The guns reminded me that this was just an attempt to punch holes in the darkness that enveloped us now.”
“Darkness enveloped us again, and for the first time in years, I welcomed it.”
“A gun is a terrible thing. It's a dark hole pointed at you, and that hole swallows up everything else in the world, your friends, your nerve, until there's nothing but you and what's waiting in that little round space of dark.”
“Life had given me another sucker punch. I should have been used to it. I should have already known what was happening and what would happen. How it felt to be in the dark hole that was death.”
“I’m going to punch words in your ear holes.”
“Now aren't you glad I made you take a bath?" Bill asked. "One less bottle of eau de reekette punching holes in l'ozone.”
