Er stand auf der Veranda seines verfallenen Kleinbauernhofs, seine Hande eines Totengrabers Hande, eines Sezierers Hande umklammerten das eiserne Gelander. Das Metall war warm, aber die Warme kam nicht von der Sonne. Sie sickerte aus dem Stahl, ein trages, unnaturliches Fieber. Vor ihm lagen die Berge, nicht wie ein blauer Fleck, sondern wie ein riesiger Leichnam unter einer purpurnen Decke. Die Wolke, die sich uber ihnen zusammenzog, war nicht schwer von Regen. Sie war schwer von Stille. Eine dicke, feuchte Stille, die jeden Laut verschluckte. Drinnen im Haus war die Stille schlimmer. Es war nicht die Abwesenheit von Gerauschen. Es war die Anwesenheit von etwas, das langst hatte tot sein mussen und trotzdem atmete. Dieses Gefuhl, dass jemand hinter einem steht, obwohl man wei, dass der Raum leer ist."
