""It was the wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times on the other end asking for someone he was not. Much later, when he was able to think about the things that happened to him, he would conclude that nothing was real except chance. But that was much later. In the beginning, there was simply the events and it's consequences. Whether it might have turned out differently, or whether it was predetermined by the first word that came from the stranger's mouth, is not the question. The question is the story itself, and whether or not it means something is not for the story to tell." City of Glass by Paul Auster"

They stand in their bathrobes with their pool nets, fishing them out while their coffee gets cold." Little Wrecks by Meredith Miller "

I'd hide myself away inside them, setting two mirrors up to face each other so that when I stood between them I was infinitely reflected in either direction." Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi "
