The air reeked of fear and dead. Beyond the field arc, Mars hung low on the horizon, the ancient god of war fixing his baleful red eye on the smaller conflict about to unfold below.

"Pity the poor bore. He stands among us as a creature formidable and familiar yet in essence unknowable. We can read of the ten infallible signs whereby he may be recognized and of the seven tested methods whereby he may be rebuffed.
Valuable monographs exist upon his dress and diet; the study of his mating habits and migrational routes is well past the speculative stage; and statistical studies abound. One out of three hundred and twelve Americans is a bore, for instance, and a healthy adult male bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.” John Updike Confessions of a Wild Bore (1965)
