Quote preview background for Ted Chiang
And then there will be the times when I see you laughing. Like the time you__l be playing with the neighbor__ puppy, poking your hands through the chain-link fence separating our back yards, and you__l be laughing so hard you__l start hiccupping. The puppy will run inside the neighbor__ house, and your laughter will gradually subside, letting you catch your breath. Then the puppy will come back to the fence to lick your fingers again, and you__l shriek and start laughing again. It will be the most wonderful sound I could ever imagine, a sound that makes me feel like a fountain, or a wellspring.
