But Blake wasn't going to assault the woman.

He peeled off the tiny piece of black leather and held it between his index finger and thumb, studying it with apparent fascination.

I've wandered through the real world, and written myself through the darkness of the streets inside me. I see people walking through the city and wonder where they've been, and what the moments of their lives have done to them. If they're anything like me, their moments have held them up and shot them down.
Sometimes I just survive.
But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.
That's when the stories show up in me.
They find me all the time.
They're made of underdogs and fighters. They're made of hunger and desire and trying to live decent.

Maybe they all just merge into one.
We'll see, I guess.
I'll let you know when I decide. — Markus Zusak
