Ray Bradbury Quote
Have a drink? I don't need it, said Halloway. But someone inside me does.Who?The boy I once was, thought Halloway, who runs like the leaves down the sidewalk autumn nights.But he couldn't say that.So he drank, eyes shut, listening to hear if that thing inside turned over again, rustling in the deep bons that were stacked for burning but never burned.
