“Last night they came again. The soldiers had set up a defense perimeter, but there were simply too many—they must have come by the hundreds of thousands, a huge swarm that blotted out the stars.

There was barely enough of him left to bury.”

“One day, perhaps, you will see for yourself that regrets are as nothing. The value lies in how they are answered.”

“Precision is a precise art. Poignancy is pre-eminent and precludes prevarication.”
