Shirley Jackson Quotes

I Played A Game When I Did The Shopping. I Thought About The Children's Games Where The Board Is Marked Into Little Spaces And Each Player Moves According To A Throw Of The Dice; There Were Always Dangers, Like "lose One Turn" And "go Back Four Spaces" And "return To Start," And Little Helps, Like "advance Three Spaces" And "take An Extra Turn." The Library Was My Start And The Black Rock Was My Goal. I Had To Move Down One Side Of Main Street, Cross, And Then Move Up The Other Side Until I Reached The Black Rock, When I Would Win.
