The Outside Classics

The cops claim Colt has “vaporized,” “vanished,” and “ran like lightning.” When the posse does close in, he allegedly rustles luxury cars, boats, and even planes. - Bob Friel , "THE BALLAD OF COLTON HARRIS-MOORE"

What Twight rails against is mediocrity of effort. I’d drunk heavily from his rancid punch, and in a strange way I looked forward to more. - Nick Heil , "THE HELL ON EARTH FITNESS PLAN"

“You focus on the one thing,” Herbst says. “You don’t focus on the dive anymore. The one thing becomes everything. And I think with Dave it became the body, the body, the body.” - Tim Zimmermann , "RAISING THE DEAD"

Outside the capital, the generals had not bothered with emergency services. No we will not help you. When Nargis hit, the military put its head in the sand. - Patrick Symmes , "THE GENERALS IN THEIR LABYRINTH"

The scientists were clinging to the side of the ice they’d been standing on, 50 feet above the waterline. In a few seconds, the berg had gone over on top of them. - Ian Frazier , "TERMINAL ICE"
