As quickly as she could…

May 29, 2014 By Jordan

She had an immense store of trivial memories and when she wasn’t living in the future she was living in the past. As for the present – she got through that as quickly as she could, running away from things, running towards things, so that her voice was always a little breathless, her heart pounding at an escape or an expectation.

…from Brighton Rock, by Graham Greene.

I knew a girl like that. Nearly every girl I’ve ever known in fact. Every guy, too. Waitaminute. Ahhh….I see what you did there.
