Summary
John looked at him and said, “Hey, Buck. Tell me something.”
Gale, obliging because it cost him nothing, said, “Yeah? What do you wanna know?”
“Tell me the worst thing you ever did.”
“Bucky.” Gale was looking at him with attention now, trying to figure out his angle. “What?”
“Come on, Buck, gimme a baseline here. What’s the worst thing you ever did? You tell me and I’ll tell you.”
In a brief rush of careless honesty, Gale said, “Got bucked off a horse when I was a kid. Probably that."
“Yeah, that’s you, Buck! That’s you. Jesus, bud. Worst thing you ever did was fuckin’ fall down.”

Summary
The whales are there for only a few minutes, surfacing once more and then never coming back up as the light fades to an inky black night, nothing but the ship's lights creating a halo of visibility around them. Winter clouds above, there are no stars to differentiate the sky from the sea. It's a cold, unsettling feeling, and John’s hairs are rising on the back of his neck, Alice rolling over waves he can’t even see. A speck of life dropped off the end of the world.
“Entering the crab grounds now, boys. Everybody on deck to load those pots and drop ‘em down.”

Summary
There is a coyote who follows John Egan through the scrublands of New Mexico. A pale-eyed, pale-furred, washed-out shape against the desert night. Limbs too long and paws dexterous as it lopes just out of sight. Sometimes it stood upright, mouth lolling open wet and pink and full of teeth. Sometimes it is a man too, still furred and broken-limbed but with a maw that could almost form words and hips that narrowed delicately.
It is never human, but sometimes it is a man.

Summary
It’s been three years since the wedding, and he’s run out of excuses not to visit. They’re expecting him today. Marge said as much in her last letter, the lovely slant of her cursive telling him she’d have supper waiting for him. The faintest whiff of her perfume clung to the paper, something soft and floral.
Five o’clock on the dot. Italian, she promised. Your favorite.

Summary
Deeply irrational. Whatever she is feeling is deeply irrational. Marika tells herself, he's the flesh of her flesh, a piece of her mind and ambitions. She still remembers the first time his body tore away from hers. She’s fundamental to Radagon’s nature. Not even the Fell god of the Fire Giants can take that fact– no matter how many times they curse him. Yet the thought of Marika losing Radagon awakens something more deep than anger– fear.

“Shh,” Irulan murmurs tenderly, reaching up to spread her palms over the flat and muscled expanse of Chani’s belly. She imagines it, swollen with child. Would it be so terrible, what she has dreaded and feared all this time? "Shh, Chani."

Summary
Achilles washes the taste of blood out of his mouth with sea water. Odysseus offers him another solution, still thrumming from the heat of battle.
----
“And you?” Odysseus can see the flex of his throat as Achilles swallows. It is one way to find the measure of a man, to know if they revel in blood or in victory. Odysseus has not yet found Achilles’ measure, but he finds he wants to know. Prophecy is one thing, but it will change the shape of this war that has dragged on so long already, to know if Achilles fights to kill or fights for glory.
It’s hard to think sometimes that before Achilles ever set foot on these shores, he had never killed a man.
“It’s not so bitter as some things.”
Odysseus can think of few himself. “Like what?”
“Like—” Achilles cuts himself short, and Odysseus looks. Beneath the blood is there a flush on Achilles’ beautiful face? Bronze skin burnished bright, long pale eyelashes draped down over sticky cheeks. “Some things.”- Language:
