Stephen King Quotes
Africa.
That Bird Came From Africa.
But You Mustn't Cry For That Bird, Paulie, Because After A While It Forgot About How The Veldt Smelled At Noonday, And The Sounds Of The Wildebeests At The Waterhole, And The High Acidic Smell Of The Ieka-ieka Trees In The Great Clearing North Of The Big Road. After Awhile It Forgot The Cerise Color Of The Sun Dying Behind Kilimanjaro. After Awhile It Only Knew The Muddy, Smogged-out Sunsets Of Boston, That Was All It Remembered And All It Wanted To Remember. After Awhile It Didn't Want To Go Back Anymore, And If Someone Took It Back And Set It Free It Would Only Crouch In One Place, Afraid And Hurting And Homesick In Two Unknown And Terribly Ineluctable Directions Until Something Came Along And Killed It.
'Oh Africa, Oh, Shit,' He Said In A Trembling Voice.
