"Aku melukai apa yang akan dia katakan, kata apa yang bisa meringkaskanku saat itu, ketika aku melihat lampu-lampu muncul di wajahnya, sangat kuning, dan tiba-tiba dia lebih cerah, lebih cerah, dan aku bertanya kepadanya apa yang terjadi, apa yang salah . Aku hanya ingat cahaya itu, begitu kuat hingga tumpah di bahuku, dan menerangi wajahnya, dan betapa takutnya dia ketika sesuatu yang besar dan keras menghantam pintuku, mengirimkan pecahan kaca ke arahku, percikan kecil menangkap cahaya seperti berlian, saat mereka jatuh, dengan saya, ke dalam gelap."

I was woundering what he would say, what word could sum me up right then, when i saw the lights come across his face, blaringly yellow, and suddenly he was brighter, and brighter, and i asked him what was happening, what was wrong. I remember only that light, so strong it spilled across my shoulders, and lit up his face, and how scared he looked as something big and loud hit my door, sending glass shattering across me, little sparks catching the light like diamonds, as they fell, with me, into the dark.
