What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly?
Stephen King
Image
Men! She could not understand why so many women feared them. Hadn't the gods made them with the most vurnerable part of their guts hanging right out of their bodies, like a misplaced bit of bowel? Kick them there and they curled up like snails. Caress them there and their brains melted.

Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame.
Stephen King
