“The slime of all my yesterdays rots in the hollow of my skull.”
“Over the city lies the sweet, rotting odor of yesterday's unrecollected sins.”
“...all kinds of images swim like tropical fish in the bathysphere inside my skull ...”
“I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.”
“I'd much rather be hold up with a ball of yarn, tucked inside the safety of the house with my mother. Out there, you must come to grips with the rot and bone, bloom and disintegration. It's part of the world, this ruthlessness, this severed leg, this sun-bleached skull. I can't really stand it. All the signs point toward change, and all that means is death. - 140-141”
“I screamed until my voice dried up in my throat. We all did. All of us in Ward Six, all of us forgotten, left to rot.”
