“Silence held the bubble of the world in its grip.”
“Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves. They flickered out saying: "It was worth being a bubble, just to have held that rainbow thirty seconds.”
“It's the silence I imagine in the rest of the world, the silence of an endless ocean and uninhabitable island, a silence that can be seen from space.”
“I kicked the door open, staff held ready to fight, and shouted, "And I'm all outta bubble gum!”
“Gripping my arm, Mother held it in the orange-blue flame. My skin seemed to explode from the heat.”
“Somehow, even in the worst of times, the tiniest fragments of good survive. It was the grip in which one held those fragments that counted.”
