It was gaspingly cold; iced-to-the-marrow cold. But it was too late for her to change her mind now. With the ball knocked out of the cup by Mischief&#8217;s bullet, the Sea of Izabella was retreating from the jetty at the same extraordinary speed at which it had first appeared. And it was carrying Candy and the John brothers along with it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The waters seemed to have a life of their own; several times the sheer force of their energies threatened to pull her under. But Mischief had the trick of it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Don&#8217;t try to swim,&#8221; he yelled to her over the roar of the retreating seas. &#8220;Just trust to Mama Izabella to take us where She wants to take us.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Candy had little choice, she quickly realized. The sea was an irresistable power. So why not just lie back and enjoy the ride?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She did so, and it worked like a charm. The moment Candy stopped flailing, and trusted the sea not to harm her, the Izabella buoyed her up, the waves lifting her so high that on occasion she caught sight of the jetty and the lighthouse. They were already very far off, let behind in another world&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Clive Barker &#8216;Abarat&#8217; 2002 Harper Collins Publishers<\/p>\n<div class=\"zbPlayer\"><embed width=\"500\" height=\"26\" wmode=\"transparent\" menu=\"false\" quality=\"high\" flashvars=\"loop=no&animation=yes&amp;playerID=zbPlayer&amp;initialvolume=60&amp;bg=E5E5E5&amp;leftbg=CCCCCC&amp;lefticon=333333&amp;voltrack=F2F2F2&amp;volslider=666666&amp;rightbg=B4B4B4&amp;rightbghover=999999&amp;righticon=333333&amp;righticonhover=FFFFFF&amp;loader=009900&amp;track=FFFFFF&amp;tracker=DDDDDD&amp;border=CCCCCC&amp;skip=666666&amp;text=333333&amp;titles=&amp;encode=yes&amp;soundFile=aHR0cDovL3d3dy42Zm9ydHkuY29tL3dwLWNvbnRlbnQvdXBsb2Fkcy8yMDE2LzAyLzY0MC4wODgubXAzA&amp;autostart=no\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" class=\"zbPlayerFlash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.6forty.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/zbplayer\/data\/player.swf\" id=\"zbPlayer\"\/><audio class=\"zbPlayerNative\" src=\"http:\/\/www.6forty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/640.088.mp3\" controls preload=\"metadata\"><\/audio><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"We Lost The Sea\" href=\"http:\/\/welostthesea.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\">We Lost The Sea<\/a> &#8211; A Gallant Gentleman [00:00]<br \/>\n<a title=\"We Stood Like Kings\" href=\"http:\/\/wslk.bandcamp.com\/album\/ussr-1926\" target=\"_blank\">We Stood Like Kings<\/a> &#8211; Volchovstroy [06:04]<br \/>\n<a title=\"alma\" href=\"http:\/\/almatheband.tumblr.com\" target=\"_blank\">Alma<\/a> &#8211; The Lighthouse [15:23]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Spurv\" href=\"http:\/\/spurv.bandcamp.com\/album\/skarntyde\" target=\"_blank\">Spurv<\/a> &#8211; Passacaglia (fugler med ord i nebbet) [21:16]<br \/>\n<a title=\"A Shelter in the Desert\" href=\"https:\/\/ashelterinthedesert.bandcamp.com\/album\/peque-as-hiroshimas\" target=\"_blank\">A Shelter In The Desert<\/a> &#8211; Todo podr\u00e1 estallar, pero siempre habr\u00e1 una adelfa que nacer\u00e1 de entre los escombros [35:29]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Signal Hill\" href=\"http:\/\/signalhill.bandcamp.com\/album\/distance-ep\" target=\"_blank\">Signal Hill<\/a> &#8211; Freelance Forest [44:22]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Classics\" href=\"http:\/\/newcenturyclassics.net\/album\/natural-process\" target=\"_blank\">New Century Classics<\/a> &#8211; Post-Cards [51:51]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Aesthesys\" href=\"http:\/\/aesthesys.bandcamp.com\/album\/studio-sessions\" target=\"_blank\">Aesthesys<\/a> &#8211; Scrolling In Mind Images Of The Past Day Before Falling Asleep [57:30]<br \/>\n<a title=\"ships\" href=\"http:\/\/brokencircles.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-amaranthine-sea\" target=\"_blank\">&#8230;Of Sinking Ships<\/a> &#8211; Comforted By Predictable Current And Tide [62:00]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Tides From Nebula\" href=\"https:\/\/tidesfromnebulaofficial.bandcamp.com\/album\/eternal-movement\" target=\"_blank\">Tides From Nebula<\/a> &#8211; Let It Out, Let It Flow, Let It Fly [68:40]<br \/>\n<a title=\"Goodbye\" href=\"https:\/\/goodbyekings.bandcamp.com\/album\/au-cabaret-vert\" target=\"_blank\">Goodbye, Kings<\/a> &#8211; Memoire [73:40]<\/p>\n<p>All of the songs on 640.088 were either purchased legitimately or were offered for free.
