So it is here, grouped on the beach with strangers, that voices begin to take on a touch of metal, each word a hard-edged clap, and the light, though as bright as before, is less able to illuminate . . . it's a Puritan reflex of seeking other orders behind the visible, also known as paranoia, filtering in.

Pienso en todas las voces que arman barullo en mi cabeza, voces que no son más que versiones mayores, más jóvenes o simplemente mejores de mí mismo, estoy seguro.

Si quiero oír su voz, tengo que recurrir a los recuerdos. Al menos eso no me falta.
~ Gayle Forman
