“‘Are there ghosts, Piggy? Or beasts?’
‘Course there aren’t.’
‘Why not?’
”Cos things wouldn’t make sense. Houses an’ streets, an’ TV—they wouldn’t work.’
. . .
‘But s’pose they don’t make sense? Not here, on this island? Supposing things are watching us and waiting?'”
—fromĀ Lord of the FliesĀ by William Golding
