Frightened


Melanie Pullen


"Frightened of trains, too," Martin said gloomily. ... "Frightened of arriving at places I haven't been to before," Martin told his neighbor now. "Frightened of motion and movement, frightened of the going and the getting there."
- Robert Littell, Legends

This really does sound like a good book... (just don't throw it at me, okay?)
[talk about a monkey at a typwriter, I think he's making up his own past tense verbs. Help me! I've been mundalled!]

mundalled - that sounds painful... or dreadfully boring.
(And, no throwing of books, I promise)
