Gabriel’s Watch - book One: the Scrapman Trilogy
“Partially due to the robot, who’d been walking restlessly around the cavern for hours, but mostly because of the recent argument between me and Alice. I tossed about, staring up at the ceiling and mumbling random thoughts that entered my mind.
Reflection can be an ugly place. I found myself recapping an entire lifetime of trials and tribulations—past failures that continued to haunt me, digging themselves deeper into the cracks of my psyche. They hid in places I couldn’t reach.
If I were to wri...te each of them down I’d have something as thick as the Bible, but ten times more daunting. Perhaps I was subconsciously answering Alice’s last question.
