“How long was I stupid enough to believe we were indestructible? But that's the problem with the present, it's never the thing you're holding, only the thing you're watching, later, from a distance so great the memory might as well be a spill of stars outside a windshield at twilight.”

I’ll just say it…I don’t get it. I’m just not a fan of this purple prose writing style. The stream of consciousness/magical realism is a bit pretentious and so full of its own virtue the message gets lost in the mix. Didn’t enjoy it, at all.
