The spirit who inhabits her animates us all. Destroy the host, you destroy the power. The young die first the old wither slowly the eldest perhaps would go last. But she is the Queen of the Damned, and the Damned can't live without her.

Wasn't it his right to listen to opera, read poetry and adventure novels, go to Europe every couple of months for some reason or another, and drive his Porsche over the speed limit until he found out who he was?

It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there. And somehow, there was a disturbing comfort in that, and, despite myself, I’d envision his face.
