❝ The desert seems vast, even endless, and yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow. ❞
❝ John Peter – you know, the farmer? – he saw it over the western ridge this morning. ❞
❝ One death has already been attributed to the Glow Cloud. ❞
❝ If we had to shut down the town for every mysterious event that at least one death could be attributed to, we’d never have time to do anything, right? ❞
❝ I would not go so far as to endorse their suggestion to run directly at the Cloud, shrieking and waving your arms, just to see what it does. ❞
❝ Can you believe this guy said he used Indian magicks? What an asshole. ❞
❝ There is a cat hovering in the men’s bathroom. ❞
❝ Wish it wasn’t trapped in a hovering prison in the men’s bathroom but listen, no pet is perfect. ❞
❝ Remember: if you see something, say nothing and drink to forget. ❞
❝ Just bring along a good, strong umbrella, capable of handling falling animals up to, say, ten pounds. ❞
❝ McDaniels is described as a five-headed dragon, approximately 18 feet tall, with mostly green eyes, and weighing about 3600 pounds. He is suspected of insurance fraud. ❞
❝ If seen, he should not be approached as he is literally a five-headed dragon. ❞
❝ Saturday, the public library will be unknowable. ❞
❝ Remember: red dots on what you love, blue dots on what you don’t! ❞
❝ Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error. ❞
❝ The Glow Cloud does not need to converse with us. It does not feel as we tiny humans feel. It has no need for thoughts or feelings of love. The Glow Cloud simply is. All hail the mighty Glow Cloud. ❞
❝ That’s the essence of life, isn’t it? Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community. And then the Glow Cloud moves on, and you move on. ❞
❝ Here is a list of things: emotions you don’t understand upon viewing a sunset, lost pets found, lost pets unfound, a secret lost pet city on the moon, trees that see, a void that thinks, a face half seen just before falling asleep, sandwiches, silence when there should be noise, noise when there should be silence, nothing when you want something, something when you thought there was nothing, clear plastic binder sheets, scented dryer sheets, rain coming down in sheets, night, rest, sleep, end ❞
