“Well, when a Spectre catch a grown-up, that’s bad to see. They eat the life out of them there and then, all right. I don’t want to be grown-up, for sure. At first they know it’s happening, and they’re afraid, they cry and cry, they try and look away and pretend it ain happening, but it is. It’s too late. And no one ain gonna go near them, they on they own. Then they get pale and they stop moving. They still alive, but it’s like they been eaten out from inside. You look in they eyes, you see the back of they heads. Ain nothing there.”
