I think it has to stay where it is; simmering in the elastic gloom betwixt my flickering organs.”

In the afternoon, the ice makes only this gentle, clicking, almost tinkling sound. Yet at night it sounds like gravel being poured into a barrel. Why is ice louder at night than it is in the daytime? Let me put on my shoes and we'll go out and investigate.”
