Quote #10
The blackness was wrapping itself around Conor's eyes now, plugging his nose and overwhelming his mouth. He was gasping for breath and not getting it. It was suffocating him. It was killing him. (29.49)
Note that the monster's not the one actually killing Conor. Instead, it's the darkness, the sadness, the atmosphere itself.
