  1. "Don't touch that," he yelled. "Just leave it up there!" Shirley put on her defiant ten year old face and flipped Jimmy her middle finger.
  2. She decided to try taking a run at it and hitting the door shoulder first. She could actually hear the bone crack before she passed out.
  3. As best he could remember, there had been no curtains. The windows had always been bare though no light ever came from within the house.
  4. He tried to follow one snowflake all the way to the ground and lost it among the thousands whisping across the window pane.
  5. It wasn't chirpy little songbirds. Huge, ugly crows were taking the crusts he left out . His fear and disappointment lasted for days.
  6. Before she new it was happening, he was out of the car and around to her side, yanking the door open. "That's fucking it," he yelled. "Out!"
  7. "There's nothing under there," he said. "I already checked." I rolled over and looked up. The flesh was falling from his face in chunks.
  8. "It's lonely," she said, "being the only one who thinks these things." Risky, too, I thought. She went back to scribbling in her notebook.
  9. Waiting, he knew, would only be a part of the problem. Holding his tongue would be the bigger part. The bus wheezed to a stop. It was time.
  10. We didn't ride so much as we were dragged through the snow; the ponies too short to do other than plow ahead. Lights appeared to our left.
  11. There were two envelopes on the table. Her name was on both; neat and tidy printing on one but on the other, a pained and desperate scrawl.
  12. He surveyed the grey hills through the bars on the window. "This is not a place where love conquers all," he said, "or anything, really."
  13. "Self-loathing is boring," she said, "and I'm not interested." She stopped at the door and without turning said, "Not... at... all."
  14. "We'll reach it by nine... ten maybe." He smiled but his eyes were sad. He wasn't convinced we would ever reach it. I wasn't convinced.
  15. There was no time to think. He dropped it into second and stomped the pedal so hard the pain flashed up from his heel to his knee. Sirens.
  16. The wagon wheels added up sidewalk panels with a double-bump and roll, double-bump and roll. Travis peeked back at the rabbit in the cage.
  17. "Take this," I said. "It'll make you wise for a little while." I held it out in the palm of my hand. "Stupid, stupid dog," I thought.
  18. After years, he read Hemingway. He saw his own sad, lazy choice to write for an audience of drunks and that others had made the same choice.
  19. Craig wanted to glide in silence but then suddenly swoop down on a backyard pool making that screaming aircraft sound, frightening everyone.
  20. He started to think of it as a kind of trap of opinion. Eventually, he knew it was always a trap and could trust no one and nothing
