“I plan to continue on into Area X, to go as far as I can before it is too late. I will follow my husband up the coast, up past the island, even. I don't believe I'll find him-- I don't need to find him--but I want to see what he saw. I want to feel him close, as if he is in the room. And, if I'm honest, I can't shake the sense that he is still here, somewhere, even if utterly transformed--in the eye of a dolphin, in the touch of an uprising of moss, anywhere and everywhere. Perhaps I'll even find a boat abandoned on a deserted beach, if I'm lucky, and some sign of what happened next. I could be content with just that, even knowing what I know.”

Life was good when you were cooking up a shot of dope; in those moments every dope boy in the world was your friend and you didn't think about the things you'd done wrong and fucked up, the years you'd wasted. I put the needle in my arm. The needle was dull so it pushed the vein away when it was going in. But the vein couldn't run forever. I felt a little pop and my blood flashed in the rig. I sent it home.”
