“I poked at the logs in the kitchen hearth, trying to summon back the bees so they would chase out the thoughts invading my brainpan.”
“I looked in my bowl. The dried apple bits curled like fresh-hatched maggots.”
“Walking down Broadway I was a fish swimming in the wrong direction.”
“The horses pulling carts and carriages whinnied nervously, bobbing their heads up and down and rolling their eyes in fear of the commotion and noise.”
“The thought washed over me like a river, sweeping away the dead bees that had filled my brainpan with confusion.”
“A gust of wind blew and carried with it the first hit of fall: canoe-shaped chestnut leaves, turned yellow ‘round the edges.”
“I searched for a familiar red hat but did not find it.” (MC is looking for a man who wears a red hat a lot.)
“The ratatatating of the drumsticks rattles through me, setting my teeth to shaking and waking the bees who had lately gone to sleep in my brainpan.”
“If I could cry a river, maybe I could swim away, or slip under the water to freedom.”
“Crack! The gavel cracked on the block of wood. “Next case.””
“A thought slid through me, quick and slimy as a cold eel.”
“Melancholy held me hostage…”
“Lightning danced at its edges like horses at a mad gallop, then the sky turned ink black and the storm crashed over us.”
