People said that video games were bad because they made you

People said that video games were bad because they made you numb to death, made you register entrails splattering across a screen as a sign of success.

Nancy waded out to her own rocks and searched her own pools

Nancy waded out to her own rocks and searched her own pools and let that couple look after themselves. She crouched low down and touched the smooth rubber-like sea anemones, who were stuck like lumps of jelly to the side of the rock. Brooding, she changed the pool into the sea, and made the minnows into sharks and whales, and cast vast clouds over this tiny world by holding her hand against the sun, and so brought darkness and desolation, like God himself, to millions of ignorant and innocent creatures, and then took her hand away suddenly and let the sun stream down.

So listening to the waves, crouching over the pool, she brooded.

Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for hi

Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves.
