Nu vreau să adorm, o să stau treaz ca să o pot iubi conștient. Cine iubește nu doarme. Nu trebuie să adorm. Trebuie să fac cumva să opresc timpul ăsta, să-l încetinesc puțin, cîteva minute în plus, cîteva secunde. Știu, știu că e copilăresc să îmi doresc asta, și totuși, de ce nu pot opri senzația că e ultima oară cînd o simt așa, abandonată în brațele mele, liniștită, moale, caldă, a mea? Ce e cu sentimentul ăsta straniu de pierdere, de ce simt că nefericirea, concretă și sfîșietoare, e la doar o noapte distanță?

Nu îmi e frică de moarte. Ştiu că într-o zi va suna telefonul că s-a dus mama-mare, care are aproape 90 de ani acum. Că se va duce tata, care, deja jumătate paralizat, e jumătate mort. Că într-o zi va pleca şi mama. Apoi sper să urmez, firesc, eu. Dar dacă nu va fi aşa, ci altfel, ştiu de pe acum că nimic nu e întîmplător şi prin asta trebuie să trec. Nu o să mă mai întreb cu disperare: de ce mie? Sunt lecţiile mele, crucile mele de dus. Mă ştiu cu moartea bine, iar proximitatea ei m-a făcut doar excepţional de vie.

I’m not sure if it was the thrill of the lust, his mind-blowing scent, or because of my loneliness, but I claimed a man who I thought was a breathtaking stranger. Turns out the tall, jaw-droppingly gorgeous wolf shifter is my childhood best friend, Sebastian Tucker. Even though I’m hesitant to seal the mating bond, mainly because he’s six years younger than me, there’s something utterly desirable about him.

Karl Tubutsch lebt im Wien des 20. Jahrhunderts in einer fantastischen Parallelwelt, welche seine Wirklichkeit abbildet.

Theodore Jerome Cohen's first serious attempt to write a short story for publication was in 1962 while he was working in Antarctica. The story he penned--about a man killed by a pod of orcas--was lost during his return to the United States. It wasn't until 2009, when he resurrected the tale and incorporated it in his post-modern novel, Frozen in Time: Murder at the Bottom of the World, that the horror of the episode, which was based on a real encounter by three Chilean Army enlisted men with a pod of orcas, appeared in print. Time did not dim the horror of what happened at sea that day.
