“Leah had a feeling then, a feeling she had been having more and more that winter: a strong sharp feeling of wanting to move, of wanting to be shoved through some rip in the fabric of life. What kept coming back was an image of an old ziplock bag containing cold sauce --tomato or similar-- getting squeezed by some fist until one of the corners burst and the sauce came splatting out. But did Leah want to be the sauce that splats, the fist that squeezes, or the bag that bursts? Didn't know.”
