Quotes by Kenneth Preston (?)

“This was long term love. This was the love of someone she had been in love with for a very long time. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she knew this young man intimately and had known him intimately for many years. Of course, she knew that it was impossible for more than one reason.

“She turned to her left to to face the young man who spoke the word that changed her life.

“Darkness. Then the screams came. They were piercing, frantic, hysterical. They began to subside…gradually. Then the cries…anguish. A question was asked. “Why?” It was asked through the anguished cries of a young woman, the voice so familiar. The cries continued…all around her. They were numerous. The darkness began to lift…slowly. It felt as if she were swimming from the depths of an ocean…an ocean filled with pain, filled with anguish. She struggled against the depths to make her way to the surface, to the light. As the darkness lifted, black to gray, the cries faded, receded slowly as she drew closer to the surface. Her eyes opened, and the crying ceased. Now there was silence. Light and silence. It was morning. Her eyes shifted from left to right then centered.”
