“I slept and the night rolled over into day like a dog. Another post-meridian awakening - sunshine on empty bottles, tangled clothes. I dozed while the temperature rose.”
Matthew Stokoe, High Life

Matthew Stokoe
“He parked his car carefully, made sure he'd set all the locks and the alarm. On the steps he kept looking behind him, snapping glances into shadows like he expected this to be a set-up with my gang waiting to roll him. Nervous. But I got this feeling the possibility of danger was all part of it for him. What he wanted was something with an edge to it, something stamped as unmistakable bad.

Welcome to the club, dude.”
Matthew Stokoe, High Life

Ernest Hemingway
“There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life. That is delaying the day. Night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. Night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. If you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.”
Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poems

Jay McInerney
“The night has already turned on that imperceptible pivot where two A.M. changes to six A.M. You know this moment has come and gone, but you are not yet willing to concede that you have crossed the line beyond which all is gratuitous damage and the palsy of unraveled nerve endings. Somewhere back there you could have cut your losses, but your rode past that moment on a comet trail of white powder and now you are trying to hang on to the rush.”
Jay McInerney, Bright Lights, Big City

Alicen Grey
“when we're done, I'll be where the night never stops
cradling a bruise that's shaped like you
wondering why sleep never came to me
wondering how I still dreamed”
Alicen Grey, Wolves and Other Nightmares

Sebastian Rotella
“Isabel, remember we used to talk about a honeymoon in Spain?"
"Of course."
"It woulda been a blast. I took a walk last night. Two in the morning, it felt like two in the afternoon. Traffic. People on the street: families, old folks on benches. The bars and restaurants were full, everybody carrying on. Hard to believe there's an economic crisis."
"Maybe they should shut up, get some sleep, and fix the mess.”
Sebastian Rotella, The Convert's Song

Heather Babcock
“When the lights are dim and the cigarettes are lit, the dames look like ladies and the mugs look like gentlemen and nobody sees the blood in your shoes at The Bow Tie.”
Heather Babcock, Filthy Sugar

Lebo Grand

Міхась Зарэцкі
“У горадзе вечарамі жыццё бывае пярэстае, гучнае і б'ецца, кіпіць, як вада на нятушанай вапне. Вечарамі з нор выпаўзаюць начныя стварэнні, у якіх розныя вопраткі і адзін твар, бо ўсе хварбуюцца аднымі хварбамі і жывуць адным жыццём. У жыцці гэтым няма ўздымаў, а ёсць брудныя, калечаныя выбрыкі - на гадзіны кульгава ўскідаецца сэрца, родзіць чорна-лілёвыя радасці. Гэта - прыгожасць жыцця!..”
Міхась Зарэцкі, Голы звер
