For weeks and months he never made a sound, in the black silence eating his very soul. He was a man and a monstrosity, as fearful a thing of fear as ever gibbered in the visions of a maddened brain.

He handled her roughly when the climb began, and he dragged and hauled her up into the cave. We were very angry, insanely, vociferously angry.
