Metaphor in Context
Her brain was like anyone's, except in losing this last trick. Her name was not Sarah. It might have been anything. She was there, in Weber's strobing mind, when he stepped into the jetway at LaGuardia, and gone when he found himself, that same afternoon, dead center in the evacuated prairie, with no transition but a jump cut.
