->''Long after the Martinis had exhausted themselves with their fight, Sebastian wandered the neighborhood, cataloging everything. He was not simply storing things away and recalling them; he was asking, "Why?" He realized then that things did not last forever: they decayed, or they left, or they died, or they were lost, or they were taken away.''

->''That night, while he sat behind the Martinis' garage, [[AnthropomorphicTransformation the hair on his paws fell away]]. He was not alarmed; he simply brushed away the remaining strands, [[HumanlikeHandAnatomy stretched out the toes into fingers]], and rubbed the palms together. More jets streaked overhead, explosions thumped in the distance getting closer. Sebastian climbed to the roof of the garage to see over the hedges. Miles away, a city burned. Helicopters hovered over the flames like flies above a carcass. Massive fireballs bloomed amid the wrecked buildings. Then, the electricity went out in all the houses in the neighborhood. The faraway conflagration provided the only light. Sebastian stayed up all night, watching, thinking, remembering. He knew that when the sun came up, more things would change, or be taken away, or die.''

He turned to the house and tried to listen. Janet burst out the door. She wore a hiker's backpack and [[TakingTheKids held a child in each arm]]. Sebastian had never realized how strong she was. Daniel trailed behind her. [[WhamLine "We have to stick together,"]] he said, his voice breaking.''

->"That's just those damned penguins stirring up trouble," growled Gneelicks. "They claim we're an 'introduced' species. Hah!
