"Life was a swarm of accidents waiting in the treetops,
descending upon any living thing that passed, ready to eat them alive. You swam
in a river of chance and coincidence. You clung to the happiest accidents – the
rest you let float by… You looked around and discovered the most unusual thing
in the world sitting there looking at you. Some things were certain – they had
already happened – but the future could not be divined" (457).
