"You are everywhere and nowhere.
You melt into the crowd. Swipe your boarding pass
over the small red laser beam and hear its reassuring beep.
You board the plane and take your first-class seat.
You lift into the air."
— Ritter, Krysten. Retreat: A Novel (p. 260).
HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.
† "I've got this problem when I'm reading a book.
Know there's an ending, so I can't help but look."
