What a peach of a night this had turned out to be.Everett fucking Moreau: master planner.Like that little French guy who used to get with tall ladies to prove a point. Napoleon.But not like him at all, except for they both ended up fucked on an island, if he didn’t misremember his history. Or maybe it was Huck Finn who got fucked on an island.Either way, he was the idiot getting fucked on a water-locked landmass this fine evening.

Quote
I stretched out my arms and laid my palms on the earth, and, yes, the rocking persisted, the rocking of the island as it sailed through the sea and the night bearing into the future its freight of gulls and sparrows and fleas and apes and castaways, all unconscious now, save me. I fell asleep smiling.
