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.

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.

“How's your vision? Seeing the people clearly, and so on...any better?”MoreLess
