About Me

All his upbringing had taught him to expect a single dramatic moment of apocalypse. Instead this had been slow evolution spread all round and working silently, like manure on a field. If anything important had happened, it had done so in places where Daniel wasn't. Buried in it somewhere was an inflection point that later they'd point to as the Moment It All Happened.

My Interests

Vicinity.

I'd like to meet:

One of those moments had arrived: Jack had been presented with the opportunity to be stupid in some way that was much more interesting than being shrewd would've been.

Music:

Listener and maker.

Movies:

Yes.

Television:

Set.

Books:

Last read: Duma Key

Heroes:

Superman, although Batman is a close second.
