The House at the End of the World

by Dean Koontz

Life has taught her that it’s mentally exhausting and spiritually depressing to waste energy and time fanning the flames of anger when the reason for her outrage is someone who can’t be affected by anything she does or some malignant force in society that, when challenged, will engulf her and dissolve her in a metastatic frenzy. Patience, steadiness, and hope are healthier than anger; therefore, in spite of evidence to the contrary, she still trusts that the world has been shapen to a purpose and that the purpose is not the triumph of evil.

During those dark weeks, she learned definitively that anger can never conjure justice where justice does not already exist.

The Fates are master sharpshooters, and the easy target is the one who’s standing still.
