“It was well past midnight, quiet, few people around. All noises had retreated. The night seemed to have its own resonance. At that hour, the city's a gong that was struck at noon and is not yet quite still.”
Sam Thompson, Communion Town

“Time is strange in certain rooms”
Sam Thompson, Communion Town

“The interval of two notes could divide your heart and the tug of words against rhythm could mend it: I'd stumbled on the means to say whatever was true in this life. I only wanted the skill to do it.”
Sam Thompson, Communion Town
