The Physics of the Dead - a Supernatural Mystery Novel
“Bowler says, with a pleading edge in his voice. They are walking-Bowler shuffling awkwardly, and the other striding slowly-along Gosford Street. For the first time in several days, a question from Bowler is not met with a rebuke, or a dismissal because’ he needs to get the basics first.’ Bowler wonders if his improved speech is taken as a sign of being ready for answers.
“No, we never sleep. You should have realised that by now. We've been walking and talking for three days, and I'm betting you... don't even feel slightly tired.” Bowler nods, at this, glumly. He realises that he wishes he DID feel tired. The idea of never sleeping,,, “How do we rest, you know...reset? How do we not go crazy?” asks Bowler.

There is a long pause as they walk, and when Hart finally speaks it is as if the question had never been asked, his tone deliberately breezy.
“How's your vision? Seeing the people clearly, and so on...any better?”MoreLess
