“I rumori della città che le notti d'estate entrano dalle finestre aperte nelle stanze di chi non può dormire per il caldo, i rumori veri della città notturna, si fanno udire quando a una cert'ora l'anonimo frastuono dei motori dirada e tace, e dal silenzio vengon fuori discreti, nitidi, graduati secondo la distanza, un passo di nottambulo, il fruscio della bici d'una guardia notturna, uno smorzato lontano schiamazzo, ed un russare dai piani di sopra, il gemito d'un malato, un vecchio pendolo che continua ogni ora a battere le ore.”

“Old maps make sense to me. With their strange collections of obscure landmarks. It's how we all got around when young. An hour to Gainesville. Turn off where they have the livestock fair. Then past an airport owned by my stepdad's family. A Rotunda. Tiny Horses. Dani's house. Jonesville didn't have much back then. Rosie's Bar and a Lil' Champ. Still when we saw the sign we knew we were close. "HAY!" Screamed by a face on the side of a store. We'd all yell it as we passed. For good luck. Later that sign was stolen. This created suspicions. Some asked if we had taken it. No. But we should have.”
