Forty-one years after I died, my friend Dale returned to the farm where I was murdered. It was a very bad winter.(1ÂÊ; ÀÌÇÏ ÀοëÀº ¸ðµÎ ÇϵåÄ¿¹ö ±âÁØÀÓ.)

[I]t was night, we were looking at the stars, and Mike O'Rouke--he was an altar boy--said that he thought that the world all existed in the mind of God and he wondered what it would be like to meet God, to shake hands with Him. Without hesitating a second, Duane said that he'd worry about that because he suspected that God spent too much time picking His mental nose with His mental fingers... (12ÂÊ)

The hammer fell. The firing pin clicked. The shell did not fire.
Dale knelt there for several minutes, waiting. It was as if time had stretched out in his final instant of life--rather like the mathematics of a person falling into a black hole whre seconds become eternities just before time itself disappears inthe singularity forever--but the shotgun blast never came.

[O]ne important truth about writing--to do it well, one has to work from the inside out. That it, there has to be a quiet but unshakable center to the tale, whether in the core of the characters or the story or, preferably, in both, and everything must spiral outward from that point. Dale was still whittling away, trying not to cut across the grain and hoping to find honest shapes in the wood.
His sense of place in the unformed novel was very strong. What, after all, is more real to us that the geography of our childhoods? (86ÂÊ)
