Chip wanted to shake the kid. Wanted to yell in his face. “ don’t you know this whole place is gunna blow? Don’t you know it’s all gunna burn. Wipe that fucking smug look off your face and say something you actually think. Anything anything.”

"The reason you see people a bit un-happy. What about you when...

He viewed his trip more and more like an archer pulling a bow back. The longer he was out here, the more force the arrow would go the other way. But which way he didn't really know. There wasn't a guide he thought, there weren't really bumpers.
