I'll just say one word: 'Icarus'.
If you get it, great. If you don't, that's fine too.
But you should probably read more.

I intend to write everything that explains how I came to be here, no matter how far-fetched or hallucinatory it may sound. To quote Peter Gabriel, a singer/songwriter who will be born ninety-nine years from now: This will be my testimony.

Mona Lisa Overdrive, ch 3:
There was a smell in the house; it had always been there.
It belonged to time & the salt air & the entropic nature of expensive houses built too close to the sea. Perhaps it was also peculiar to places briefly but frequently uninhabited.

LACON: Yes, well, we have to temper truth, George! Sometimes people are innocent but the circumstances make them appear quite otherwise. There was never a golden age. There's only a golden mean. We have to remember that. Chalk it on our shaving mirrors.

He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys.
He said "I've got no further use for these,
"I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
"Swooping down from heaven to Carry. Me. Home."
And he gave her one last kiss and died,
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.

Not much was separating Daniel from Catherine Barton; having been rousted by a most urgent message, he'd come over in his nightshirt. She smelled good: not an easy thing to accomplish in 1714.

DAPPA: I have stepped forward to appoint myself Executor of the wretched leavings that answer to the name of the Tories' Estate. For they have only 1 thing remaining: Mr Charles White, who professes to be my owner. His vocal & oft-repeated support for Slavery has simplified a most awkward matter. >

Charles White rounded on the fellow who had dared touch him. He'd been looking for an ear to bite. But the man who stood before him didnt have an ear on the right side of his head, just a lumpy orifice. White quite lost the moment as he had was surrounded by Whigs ready to draw their swords. >
