“מיכל תלתה בי עיניים: "יש לך משהו רציני להגיד לי, נכון?"
... זה היה הרגע שבו היה אפשר. מיכל ואני יכולנו להיות יחד. זוג. אוהבים. מחוברים. נדרשה ממני המילה הנכונה. אפילו לא המילה הנכונה, רק משהו שמיכל תוכל להאחז בו כדי להישאר. לא ללכת.
אמרתי: "לא."
לא. מנהיגתן של המילים הקשות, השוללות. בחרתי בקשה מכולן, במלכה האם, היא ולא אחרת. לא להניח למיכל אפילו סדק.
היא הרכינה את ראשה אל חזי. "אני אכתוב לך.”

“קיוויתי שתחסך ממני ההעפלה המאומצת בסולם החיים. ייחלתי שבדרך לבית הספר תקרה תאונה אטומית-מגנטית, וכמו ספיידרמן או באטמן אהפוך מילד בשיכון לגיבור-על עם תכונות-על וחיי-על. לפני התאונה גם ספיידרמן לא ידע מה יהיה, שכב על מיטתו בעיניים פקוחות בלי לדעת מה יעשה, ופתאום, במקום מישהו רגיל שלא נועד להצטיין בשום דבר - ספיידרמן.
החרדות תכפו: ומה אם לא תהיה לי תאונה אטומית? ומה אם לא אפול לבוץ רדיואקטיבי?”
