Quote preview background for Glen Duncan
There__ a reason humans peg-out around eighty: prose fatigue. It looks like organ failure or cancer or stroke but it__ really just the inability to carry on clambering through the assault course of mundane cause and effect. If we ask Sheila then we can__ ask Ron. If I have the kippers now then it__ quiche for tea. Four score years is about all the ifs and thens you can take. Dementia__ the sane realisation you just can__ be doing with all that anymore.
