Quotes edit
-
“He squatted beside the crawlspace door to catch his breath, squinting in the bright morning sunlight as he tried to see what awaited him underneath the house. Darker than the devil’s asshole under there, he thought. The doorway gaped open – its maw black, cold and soulless. It reminded Tom of a cold-blooded carnivore, a dead-eyed crocodile motionless on a river bank, waiting to clamp into the flesh of unsuspecting victims and drag their startled souls deep into the inky black below; to hold them there until they lost hope, stopped struggling, and finally surrendered to the unyielding darkness of the croc’s bowels.”
Tom
First Sentence edit
“Thomas! Are you even listening to me?” His wife’s voice cut through the haze of his reverie like a bowling ball through a minefield. Tom let out a long sigh, loud enough for her to hear. The sound of it escaped his lips in an unhurried way, perfectly matching the pace of the steam as it floated up and out of his shower stall and into the cold farmhouse bathroom that lay beyond. He wished he and his hot water could be together forever and that she would just give up and go away.
