“I was just stunned; Aunt Kathy had actually moved on to another dimension! It finally happened! That lady was damn near invincible! She had survived assaults, coronaries, fevers, famines, flus, floods, plagues, pandemics, strokes, andglobal warming for almost 100 years. I’m willing to bet she outlived the Ice Age, but there’s no way to confirm it. If anyone told the devil “You’re a Lie,” it was Aunt Kathy. She just had a way of coming back and back like a sequel to a never-ending horror story. Whenever she fell ill, she reappeared as a new being more hostile than the previous entity.”

“- Ei bine, de exemplu, când am plecat de la ea astăzi, m-a înconjurat cu brațele și mi-a pipăit omoplații pentru a vedea dacă aripile mele sunt puternice, zice ea. „Pasărea care vrea să zboare deasupra tărâmului tradițiilor și prejudecăților trebuie să aibă aripi vânjoase.
