the friday 56


Rules: 

*Grab a book, any book. 

*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that's ok.) 

*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) 

*Post it. 


I'm reading  Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.


From 1%:

Darkness suits me.

Each evening, I await the click of the overhead lights, leaving only the glow from the main tank.  Not perfect, but close enough.

Almost-darkness, like the middle-bottom of the sea.  I lived there before I was captured and imprisoned.  I cannot remember, yet I can still taste the untamed currents of the cold open water.  Darkness runs through my blood.
