“If Adam were honest with himself, which he rarely was, he’d come to terms with the fact that beyond his work and the view, he was floundering a bit. His plan had been to take the insurance money, leave his old life behind, and start completely over somewhere new. A place where memories didn’t lurk around every corner.
He hadn’t figured on the memories coming along with him.”

“Where did you see him?” Heidi asked.

“And I knew in my bones that Emily Dickinson wouldn't have written even one poem if she'd had two howling babies, a husband bent on jamming another one into her, a house to run, a garden to tend, three cows to milk, twenty chickens to feed, and four hired hands to cook for. I knew then why they didn't marry. Emily and Jane and Louisa. I knew and it scared me. I also knew what being lonely was and I didn't want to be lonely my whole life. I didn't want to give up on my words. I didn't want to choose one over the other. Mark Twain didn't have to. Charles Dickens didn't.”

“Get up you lazy bastard. The Governor wants a word with you,” said a guard.  He opened his eyes and smiled. There was another guard standing near the cell door in  anticipation of any trouble. The prisoner smiled at him, too.  Now what can the Governor want from me? He wondered. His dishevelled form seemed  incapable of coherent thought. “It’s nice of him to remember me,” he said aloud, trying to  concentrate. “Surprising he’s got any time for a worthless shit like you,” said the first guard.  “I once used to be a very important person,” the prisoner said feebly.”

“Stand in the machine there, let’s see what state your internal organs are in. The images will be projected on screen, and I can go through the diagnosis with you, step by step.” Brown did as he was told and soon images of his vital organs appeared on the screen.  As you can see, your heart is slightly enlarged and your lungs and kidneys are not in good shape either. Have you been experiencing any pain lately?” “Not that I can think of. What can you do to help?” “Difficult to say, you see you are dying” said the Doctor. You can see the discolouration in your kidneys.” Brown strained his eyes.”
