“Everything in the world feels suspended in its strange, still-evolving state — the violence, the losses, the sadness, the surreal circus of it all. So many of us reach back into nostalgia, searching for innocence that may never have existed. Struggling, scared, vulnerable, haunted by time’s distorted schedule. Surreal and brutal, yet undeniable.”

― When We Were Invincible
“Bunnu was no amateur when it came to escape. And even in his drowsiest moments, he understood implicitly that to forget his circumstances, even for a short while, meant first to forget himself. Who he was and why he was—to strip it all bare and start from scratch, as it were. In his nearly 250 years of life and, now, as an old emaciated man completely estranged from his family and closest friends—albeit more by circumstance than by choice—he understood the importance of this process and revered it, for there were far greater things to be done and achieved in the dark, uncertain areas of existence than in those circumscribed—and thereby strained—by comprehensibility.”
