“but what was life but a series of hard jobs you had to endure because you’d screwed up the easy ones?”
Jason Pargin, I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

Mark Lawrence, Dispel Illusion

Joseph Fink
“Here is what the sea smells like. It is more texture than scent, because the sea is primarily made of two
substances that have no smell of their own: water and
salt. Salt has no smell, but makes the air sting, and so all of the other smells of the sea are layered upon the pang of salt. Water has no smell but instead a comfort. We feel moisture as life and so the smells of the ocean are layered upon the contentment of the water. Salt is treble and water is bass. I don't know how I know this is true, but I know it is true. The sea smells like old wood and wet leaves. Like cold mud and warm stone. Like every creature who has ever lived in it, a churning graveyard and nursery. Like winds from the inland carrying the hot circulation of life and winds from the ocean carrying the distant froth of waves against ships and islands. Like gray, only more so. Like blue, only less so.”
Joseph Fink, The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home
