it was amazing

Might read this again. I took a walk to the bank to make a deposit at the ATM. My belts broke on my car. Walked through streets with no people, no cars, no animals. Through a tunnel and I saw a man walking with a black leather jacket. From my view he floated on the air. 3-25-20

Quotes Brian Liked

Stephen        King
“I’m not on you, man, come on. I’m just hanging suspended above you. Like the great invisible world.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“When he got to the tank’s flat, circular cap, it seemed that he must be standing directly under the roof of the world, and if he reached up he could scratch blue chalk from the bottom of the sky with his fingernails”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“He remembered meeting her in the park, and how he had thought her conversation seemed like a careless spray of diamonds on the green felt of a billiard table. Since yesterday afternoon it had seemed more like the glitter of zircons, near-perfect pastes that were, after all, only pastes.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“Show me a man or woman alone and I’ll show you a saint. Give me two and they’ll fall in love. Give me three and they’ll invent the charming thing we call “society.â€� Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid. Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast. Give me six and they’ll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they’ll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“In that brief time between, the night had been a fragrant puzzle, a time when, looking up at the star-strewn sky and listening to the breeze that brought such intoxicating smells, you felt close to the heartbeat of the universe, to love and life.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“And then a frightful red Eye opened in the dark: vulpine, eldritch. The Eye terrified him yet held him. The Eye beckoned him. To the west, where the shadows were even now gathering, in their twilight dance of death.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Stephen        King
“For the one instant the feeling held, Mother Abagail actually fancied that the woman’s face was gone and she was looking into a hole in time and space, a hole from which two eyes, dark and damned, stared out at her—eyes that were lost and haggard and hopeless.”
Stephen King, The Stand
