“Today, there was no time for the old rituals and the old ways; there was barely time in each day to kiss your son good morning and your wife goodbye as you rushed out to the shop, trying to make a living, before trudging home with nothing to show after you’d paid the taxi fares and bought the milk for Klein Ben’s porridge …”

“There wasn’t enough water left in his body for real tears, just as there wasn’t a drop of hope left in his soul.”
J A Croome, The Sand People: a collection of magical realism and other stories
