"The women were waiting, powerless and broken. What happened after the end of the world? Polyxena sat at her mother's feet, absently rubbing her hand up and down her mother's calf like a small child. Andromache sat slightly apart from her mother-in-law. She was born as Trojan, but had married Hector and become one of them. Her baby nested beneath her chin, grizzling a little - the noise and panic had disturbed his sleep. And Cassandra faced the ocean, her mouth moving soundlessly. She had long since learned to keep quiet, even if she could not halt the stream of words flowing from her lips."

"He turned round and looked at the road. The mist had almost covered the dishes. He could only see the one closest to the fence. The metal was dripping. The antenna was tilted towards the road. It almost looked like it was pointing at him. Was it pointing at him? He took a step towards it, then stopped and shook his head. It was pointing upwards, above the houses, like it always did."

"She lifts a hand up high to brush a clinging strand of hair from her damp forehead and I fix on the secret shadow under her armpit, plum-blue, the tint of my humid fantasies for nights to come. Chloe sulks. Myles goes back to delving violently in the sand with his stick. Their father folds his newspaper and squints at the sky. Rose is examining a loose button on her shirt. The little waves rise and plash, the ginger dog barks. And my life is changed forever."

"I was relieved to be out of the city at first. Relieved to be out of all cities, full stop. But too quickly that feeling, my relief, went away. It's now only been seven hours since all I'm feeling is shit-scared. Three days ago I left Alex and New Zealand; the hobbits and elves and frosted peaks. Five days ago I sprinted from wild dolphins. A fortnight ago I said goodbye to Yes, to my mum and to Granny Codd. I took my last shift at the clinic. I may have done a load of research since I made my decision to come here. But still I don't feel ready for what's ahead."

"Fear of homeless is as commonplace now as it has ever been, with a widespread belief that anyone who is homeless must be alcoholic, drug abuser or suffering mental health issues. Although these are problems rife amongst the homeless community, they are as likely to be problems that result from homelessness as they are to be the cause of it. It's this fear, and the fear of the problem of the homeless affecting tourism, that provoked attempts by central London authorities to ban rough sleeping and make soup kitchen illegal. Is starving this embarrassment off the streets really the answer? Rouges, vagabonds and vagrants, however you classify the homeless, in the summer of 2013 we became two of their numbers."

"I'm early - I'm always early, it is a pathological quirk that my wife Jen is working hard to iron out - but there are other people here already. At the door of the larch-lapped observatory a man wearing a Dark Skies lanyard identifying him as David Warrington, the observatory's resident astronomer, is being quizzed by three Americans. They want to go for a walk before the stargazing session starts but are worried about wildlife. Not wildlife, but Wildlife. Bear. Lynx. Wolves. Things that come out at night with tooth and claw."
