“The early women rise before I do. Their lamps splinter the gloom of the kitchens. They chatter in whispers as they brew tea for the cooks. Windows are open to counter the heat of the ovens. Outside, the sky is as black as my soul.”

Human figures faced each other; the man’s head was a golden ball with rays reaching up to huge stars and out to the distant mountains; the woman’s silver head was sickle-shaped and surrounded by birds like eagles with white beaks.

“Since that night a couple of weeks ago when Valerie had stayed with
him, they had barely separated. The stories of Rabbit’s Revenge droned
on and on talking of the impending doom of the planet and the international
scientific community’s various attempts to determine a course of
action to prevent it.

more certain he was missing something. It was just a nagging little sensation
that lingered like an itch on the back of his neck. With Valerie
now firmly implanted in his life, it was a wonder he even thought about
it at all, but during his quiet moments and when he awoke in the mornings
or even during his more intense workouts, the sensation crept back
up on him. It seemed to center around the experience of having his life
pass before his eyes, but beyond that it was just nebulous.
And annoying.”
― Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy

We watched with heavy hearts as their helicopters endlessly were landing men.”
― Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

It appeared she'd thrown caution to the wind and opened her arms to embrace everything that could go wrong in her life. What's one more problem to add to the pile?”
― Emem Uko, The Place That Gave
