“My husband says he feels like he's an extra in Jurassic Park except someone has turned all the dinosaurs miniature. In Florida, nature is seductive and full of vengeance. To live here is to engage in a ceaseless battle to keep the outdoors from coming in, but in this instance there is absolutely nothing to do but admit defeat: there are hundreds of thousands of lizards out there, with bodies malleable enough to slip through the smallest crack. This is why it's important to know how to catch lizards in mason jars, so we can help them rejoin the countless hordes outside. My mother's backyard is so full of lizards that the grass undulates of its own accord.”

“A rich man dug up a paupers' grave. Down on the
Dixie coast. Bodies found washed up on the shore
were moved inland. And the rich got richer. People
talked haunting. They spoke of ghosts. But that man
lived a long life. Dedicated to the pursuit of material
gain. Then died himself. There was no Divine
retribution. No supernatural justice. Just a lot of
people speaking ill of the dead.”
