Pasquale's Angel (2014)
“The ferry had run aground and was ablaze from end to end, and those Savonarolistas who had not jumped ship and chanced the dubious mercy of their enemies must surely have perished.
Pasquale would have run to try and find Niccolò if Rosso hadn’t held him back. ‘We must save ourselves!’ Rosso said desperately.
Filled with loathing and despair, Pasquale wrenched free and said, ‘He is my friend!’ Then he ran at Rosso and knocked him to the gravelly mud, and might have tried to kill him if v...oices had not sounded close by.
It was a contingent of the city militia, searching for survivors of the ferry wreck. Pasquale and Rosso hid in a pit amongst freshly flayed bodies of horses and mules. By now both were racked by deep shivers, for their soaked clothes were icy cold and not likely to dry in the cold night air. Teeth chattering, they hugged each other for warmth, but both knew that their friendship had died amongst the stink of blood and the yellow grins of the dead animals.MoreLess
