#SundaySentence

Every weekend I participate in David Abrams’s “#SundaySentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

Even the woman who had said those words and hurled that thing into the middle of the room and now stared, like all the others, at the thing she had hurled, which was much too big for her and for everyone else at that moment, and so forbidden that it seemed to go beyond the personal responsibility of any one person and was perceived as a deed committed by an invisible force that had opened up and shattered the ceiling above their heads and cast into the room the giant carcass of an unidentified animal encrusted with blood.
