    Ellen J. Lewinberg
    “Joey was lying by the stream one afternoon after a hard day. He had been in trouble at school because he had left his homework at home. He had done the work, but his teacher didn’t believe him that he had completed it. Joey was still a bit upset with his teacher.
     
    Suddenly, he heard a very soft voice say, “Hello.”
     
    Joey sat up and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone. So, he laid back down by the stream only to hear the voice again.
     
    The voice sounded bubbly and a little like running water. Joey didn’t know where it was coming from.”
    ― Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

    “When I'm hung-over I try to imagine being old and look- ing back fondly on now, on this bit I'm currently living, and how in retrospect it might seem adventurous. In the future when I only ever sit in a chair because I'm too gnarled for pleasure or movement I'll remember when I stayed out all night and had life-changing conversations and walked all the way home because I lost my phone.”
    ― Sara Pascoe, Weirdo

    Caleb Carr
    “— Говорю тебе, сеньорита Стиви, — в джунглях в своих странствиях я видел, есть крестьяне, что живут рядом с логовами и охотничьими землями тигров. Некоторые из этих тигров убивают людей — некоторые нет. Никто не знает, почему. Но все знают, что тигры, которые убивают, должны умереть, — потому что раз напившись крови человека, они не могут от нее отвыкнуть.”
    ― Caleb Carr, The Angel of Darkness
