"Don't want no more rock, Orc repeated.The bleeding stopped almost immediately."Does it hurt? Lana asked. "I mean the rock. I know the hole hurts."No. It don't hurt.

It had lost some of its bloom and youthful curves, and there were fine, patient lines about eyes and mouth.

"God knew our lives would be really bad sometimes. Like maybe we'd be turned into a monster and then our best friend would get killed. So he made up this story about hell, so we could always say, 'Well it could be worse. It could be hell.' And then we'd keep going."
