Quotes by Mike Driver  (?)

“Outside I could hear the rush and heave of the wind as it shifted and moaned, battering at the eaves. More leaves appeared, and they clawed at the underside of the door, like fingers, feeling for the warmth and light inside. They scuttled in to the room, and they swirled all about me and when one brushed my foot I almost screamed.”
Mike Driver, Fall, Leaves, Fall

“Where do you go when you disappear? What do you see on the other side?”
“Come with me,” she said, running her tongue over her teeth. “See for yourself.”
The goose flesh rose on my arms. I never asked her again.”
Mike Driver, Midnight's Gate: Short Stories: Volume 2 Mike Driver
