Kaye George said this quote

There has always been the wind. Since our planet began to turn, there has been the wind. This ball of dirt and fire and water started to spin. The air stirred. And Earth's time began. But the beginnings of the wind are lost in the mists of time. The wind blew before the Appian Way wended through Rome. It blew before the Parthenon crowned Athens. Before pyramids sprang up in Egypt. Before the Mayans. Before the Incas. Before Man.

Immy knocked on his open door. Mr. Mallett?The look on his narrow face was pained. What's with the Mr. Mallett? When you don't call me Mike, it's usually trouble.
