Joseph A. Anderson
“He falls further into darkness. The stinging pain of daily torture and the numbing cold hardly bother him now, and he relishes the thought that soon he might disappear entirely. Then Lylitte is there in his thoughts again, and the splitting pain brings him back into this life, and again, only one thing eases the torment: winding further out of existence.”
Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b

Guillermo Saccomanno
“La espera es una paz engañosa.”
Guillermo Saccomanno, El oficinista
