quote:MOON.GLORIOUS MOON.FULL, FAT, REDDISH moon, the night as light as day, the moonlight
flooding down across the land and bringing joy, joy, joy. Bringing too the full-throated call of the tropical
night, the soft and wild voice of the wind roaring through the hairs on your arm, the hollow wail of
starlight, the teeth-grinding bellow of the moonlight off the water.
All calling to the Need. Oh, the symphonic shriek of the thousand hiding voices, the cry of the Need
inside,the entity , the silent watcher, the cold quiet thing, the one that laughs, the Moondancer. The me
that was not-me, the thing that mocked and laughed and came calling with its hunger. With the Need.
And the Need was very strong now, very careful cold coiled creeping crackly cocked and ready, very
strong, very much ready now—and still it waited and watched, and it made me wait and watch.
quote:And so I had learned how to dress neatly and smile and brush my teeth. I had become a perfect fake human, saying the stupid and pointless things that humans say to each other all day long. No one suspected what crouched behind my perfect imitation smile. No one except my foster sister, Deborah, of course, but she was coming to accept the real me. After all, I could have been much worse. I could have been a vicious raving monster who killed and killed and left towers of rotting flesh in my wake. Instead, here I was on the side of truth, justice, and the American way. Still a monster, of course, but I cleaned up nicely afterward, and I was OUR monster, dressed in red, white, and blue 100 percent synthetic virtue. And on those nights when the moon is loudest I find the others, those who prey on the innocent and do not play by the rules, and I make them go away in small, carefully wrapped pieces.
This elegant formula had worked well through years of happy inhumanity. In between playdates I maintained my perfectly average lifestyle from a persistently ordinary apartment. I was never late to work, I made the right jokes with co-workers, and I was useful and unobtrusive in all things, just as Harry had taught me. My life as an android was neat, balanced, and had real redeeming social value.
