Forgotten Lives Quotes

“They departed the auditorium and Nella found herself wandering amidst the devastation and neglect of an abandoned urban landscape replete with rusty corrugated sheets and crumbling plaster. Broken glass glinted among ferns and shrubs and shapeless masses of rubble poured through breaches in sagging walls. Room interiors here and there were exposed to the street and Nella got a strange feeling of intrusion as she passed these wrecked homes, as if peering into the private lives of those who once resided there. She could see faded wallpaper and moulded stonework that once decorated the personal living spaces of the occupants and reflected on those past lives, perhaps now crushed and shaped by the Authority not five miles off. (Lady Snyper - chapter 10)”
