“Sanayah returned to work after a week. She said she had to come back for her clients. 'Ali didn't like it, but that was her choice. She decided that even if Ami were not supportive, the aggressive client was a rarity, a remote risk. Ten-meter hills of brownest humus and blackest ash stood between Sanayah and her return to work. The slopes were at their critical angle of repose so she was afraid to step on them; they might cascade down on her.”

“People shouldn't be throwing their empty bottles (or the caps) out on the side of the road. Don't they listen to Lady Bird Johnson? Besides, if people are throwing their beer bottles into the weeds, they're probably drinking and driving, and that's way worse than littering. Their wrecked car--or somebody else's--might be the next thing littering the roadside.”
