We zijn de zaak nog niet uit of Mandy krijgt het al voor elkaar om de beker ijskoffie kapot te knijpen als ze de deksel erop probeert te doen. "Nou, ik hoop dat jullie beter zijn in boeven vangen," merkt een man die achter ons staat lachend op als hij ons ziet stuntelen.

Seven days. What will you do with the time you have left?
Wallace pondered this as the sun rose on the first day.
He didn't know. He'd never felt more lost in his life.

Charon's Crossing Tea and Treats opened as normal the next day, bright and early. The people came as they always did. They smiled and laughed and drank their tea and ate their scones and muffins. They couldn't see the angry man pacing through the tea shop, stopping to scream at each of them.

"When people come here, Hugo wants them to talk to one another instead of being fixated on a screen." Mei said. "Of course he does," Wallace said. "It's a hipster thing, isn't it?" Mei turned to stare at him. "Please let me be there when you say that to Hugo. I want to see the look on his face when you call him a hipster."

The first time you share tea, you are a stranger.
The second time you share tea, you are an honored guest.
The third time you share tea, you become family.

He was about to ask how far they had to walk when they reached a dirt road. A wooden sign sat next to the road. He couldn't make out the words in the dark, not until he'd gotten closer. The letters had been carved into the wood with the utmost care.

His funeral was sparsely attended. Wallace wasn't pleased.
He couldn't even be quite sure how he'd gotten here. One moment, he'd been staring down at his body. And then he'd blinked and somehow found himself standing in front of a church, the doors open, bells ringing.

Wouter van Noort is 72% done with The Woman in Me

Everyone was asking me where do you go from here? And it was a good question. I had the answer. I told interviewers again and again that what I most wanted was some time to myself. I'd started to dream about finding true love and settling down. I felt like I'd been missing out on life.

One of the only times I did leave the apartment , a man behind me on an elevator said something that made me laugh;
I turned around and it was Robin Williams.

Wouter van Noort is 34% done with The Woman in Me

I was a little girl with big dreams. I wanted to be a star like Madonna, Dolly Parton, or Whitney Houston. I had simpler dreams, too, dreams that seemed even harder to achieve and that felt too ambitious to say out loud: I want my dad to stop drinking. I want my mom to stop yelling. I want everyone to be okay.

Singing is magic. When I sing, I own who I am. I can communicate purely. Singing takes me to a mystical place where language doesn't matter anymore, where anything is possible.

The door flew open, and a man in a loose-fitting white jacket strolled out before closing it again. The tabby cat that had been dozing in front of the building rushed over to him. 'Excuse me,' Suyako said to the man, who had started stroking the cat. 'This is the Kamogawa Diner, right?'

'I'm just glad I spotted your advert in Gourmet Monthly.' said Tomomi. 'But that doesn't even give our location, or any contact details!' said Nagare, smiling. 'All it says is Kamogawa Diner - Kamogawa Detective Agency - We Find Your Food. People go up and down the Kamogawa river looking for us.'

A dog bayed behind Robert, shockingly close. He heard Haddock's voice calling in the wind, saying, "Here, doggie doggie!"
Haddock was going to catch him!

He didn't know how much time passed before he saw handwriting emerge from the dust on the windowpane near his nose, one letter
at a time like a crawling snail: B-U-R-N-I-N-G.

His sore eardrum popped, and a strange silence wrapped around him, filling both of Robert's ears with deep and steady nothingness. No birds singing. No leaves whispering. No whir of insects.
Something seemed to be holding its breath.

Tuesday arrived with sad, gray light and thunder rumbling the sky, and Robert felt certain that Blue had been staring at him all night from the shadows. He couldn't see Blue, but he felt his stare.

Robert felt sick to his stomach as he remembered the warden's proud jar of dust. If you're dead, stay dead. Blue had said, with his own mouth.
