Wait! Rachel wanted to scream. This is a big mistake. Turn back!
Right now they were in one of the tamer canals, surrounded by stone bridges and storybook houses rising straight out of the water, as if Atlantis had come up for air. There were daffodils in all the windows. Doves and seagulls fluttered by, thick as snowflakes. To the average tourist, it was all very romantic, picturesque even. But Rachel had seen the map in her mother’s guidebook, and she knew what lay beyond the daffodils.

| Kirk felt the sudden cough and helped it along to clear his chest. Phlegm fell from his mouth and he caught it in his hand. Kirk looked up and into the face of his daughter, Krystal with a K, and saw a mixture of heartbreak and disgust. Phlegm speckled with blood is never a pretty sight.

| The definition of the word cool, according to the Canadian Gage Dictionary, is: somewhat cold; colder than hot; bold or impudent; admirable or excellent. I have noticed that the word cool has taken on a more sinister connotation as it has evolved.

| One balmy November 12th, of the year 2088, in Bentonville, AR, Walmart Sally, the immensely intelligent and unprecedentedly complex computer which was not only the government, media and CEO of the dynamic and trendy Free Nation of Wal-Mart but also its favourite pop icon, made a decision. In and of itself, this was not a particularly noteworthy event, as Walmart Sally made trillions of decisions a second and had been constructed specifically to do so. Like all of Walmart Sally’s decisions, this one had been guided by the unbreakable law which told her that the national profits of the noble and prosperous Free Nation of Wal-Mart must be ever increasing. Like a great many of Walmart Sally’s decisions, this one would affect not only the freedom and bargain loving people of the Free Nation of Wal-Mart, but all the people of the world. The only thing that was at all noteworthy about this particular decision was that Walmart Sally had decided to do something she had never done before.

Shelby looked at the shelf full of sweaters in the basement. They were Christmas sweaters, knitted for Pete by his mother every Christmas. Every sweater had a Christmas design: a tree, a wreath, a reindeer, some symbol of Christmas.

| Except for the children of Crake, the garbage and the strange animals: wolvogs, rakunks and pigoons, Jimmy, alias Snowman, is alone in the world. Naked except for a sheet to protect himself from the relentless sun, he spends his days interpreting things for the naive Crakens, collecting drinking water in his empty beer bottles and going on rampages back into the compounds for food or other useful objects.

| I grew up in Moshi, a town at the foot of Kilimanjaro, in Tanganyika, the country which later became Tanzania, where my family lived until I was seventeen. The republic of Tanzania was formed in 1964 by the union of mainland Tanganyika, and the islands of Zanzibar, consisting of Unguja and Pemba. I was born in a southern coastal town called Lindi, which shares the same Swahili culture as Zanzibar. It's an ancient culture, formed out of contact between the Arabs who ruled here for a few centuries, and the Africans they met here. The name 'Swahili' comes from the Arabic word for coast, 'sahil', and means 'people of the coast'. Kiswahili, the language I grew up speaking, is an Arabic and Bantu creole.
