Quote
سرشب چراغ انتهای هر خیابان خاموش و روشن میشد. آن چراغ به تکرار به حولوحوش خود هشدار میداد که شب فرارسیدهاست. خانهها از رهگذران حاشیه خود کوچکتر میشدند. پلها از ترامواهایی که از روی آنها میگذشت کوچکتر میشدند و درختان از صورت کسانی که یکبهیک از زیر آنها میگذشتند.

Quote
My flesh was burning where the skin was scraped off my knees, and I was afraid that I couldn't be alive anymore with so much pain, and at the same time I knew I was alive because it hurt. I was afraid that death would find its way into me through this open knee and I quickly covered my knee with my hands.
