The only candles were on a hallway altar downstairs.            I was in a haze.             'I'm light, I'm little,' she said. Don't they call us snappy antique dressers Goth now, Quinn?             I think they do, I said, trying to catch up.

            Again I heard voices speaking, just as if these whispers pushed at me and prodded me and broke my sense of balance, and once again a woman was crying, only it wasn't Virginia Lee.            He believed completely in the sacred words he spoke. And one can still hear the roar of cougars and bears. Don't ever tell Quinn he had a little brother who died.
