From, At the Bottom of the Sky:
"A riot. That's what the media call it, anyway. A tumult of bodies: some uniformed and bearing truncheons, others in shorts made from second-hand fatigues, a handful with balaclavas pulled over their faces - all of them pushing and pulling, slamming into each other. In some places blood streaks across flesh. Dust clouds climb above the scene and overhead helicopters lend someone a view through them. To my left, a few women dressed in billowing print skirts remain seated, arms linked as a cop leans in, fury in his eyes and one arm outstretched towards them. I can hear the terrifying skirl of the sirens.
Zack's hand is shaking, and all he's doing is handing me the photograph. He remembers the afternoon as clearly as I do, I guess. His eyes are moist."
