Cal Flyn
“Further back, cooling ponds strewn with rusted pipes were busy with teals and moorhens. An old concrete streetlight stood incongruously in the woods beyond: some ravaged Narnia. Jays catcalled overhead.”
Cal Flyn, Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape

Sara Ellie MacKenzie
“I looked out the window at midnight and watched the snow drop slowly to the ground. It was 2004 at last and new beginnings were about to be discovered. All I can wish is that they can be created on the spot, but it'll have to wait. I have some time to make my wishes come true.”
Sara Ellie MacKenzie, A World So Bright and Dark: The Journal of Lizzie Colleen MacDougal
