At Play in the Fields of the Lord
“HE entered without knocking. Quarrier awoke in time to find Moon going through the pockets of his pants hung on the chair. Moon met his gaze calmly, still going through the pockets, and a moment later held up the Niaruna dictionary in the dim light.

From the window Quarrier watched Moon drift down the center of the street to the edge of light and disappear into the darkness. Then he saw Andy running in the same direction. He started to call out to her, then stopped; he ran to the doorway, to the stairwell, then back to his room.MoreLess
