## Quotes

I worried about whether there would be enough worms and roots
and grubs for us to eat. I worried about the tall dragons who poked
their heads in to stare at us at night and day — what did they want? Who
were they? Why did they keep taking our bigwings away and bringing her
back and taking her away again? I worried about wrapping my mouth around
the languages#Dragon|language of dragons and I worried about the weird
yowling sounds of the birds on the lake and I worried about the sun
going away and the strangeness of the dark and the noises of the insects
and whether the sun would ever come back and then, when it did, I
worried about how long we would have before it abandoned us again.
