Simon Beckett Quote

Kaum ist das Leben aus dem Körper gewichen, wird er zu einem gigantischen Festschmaus für andere Organismen. Zuerst für Bakterien, dann für Insekten. Fliegen. Aus den gelegten Eiern schlüpfen Larven, die sich an der nahrreichen Substanz laben und dann abwandern. Sie verlassen die Leiche in Reih und Glied und folgen einander in einer ordentlichen Linie, die sich immer nach Süden bewegt. Manchmal nach Südosten oder Südwesten, aber niemals nach Norden. Niemand weiß, warum.
