"Her words seemed to thaw out some sort of ice dam inside of me..."
From Richard Russo's That Old Cape Magic, published this year:
"[He] felt some ice dam in his heart break apart..."
Okay, maybe he says it better than me, but still... Get out of my head, Russo!
I won't say my story's better, but it does have lots more time-travelling, senseless killing, half-baked superheroes from the future, revelations of a higher intelligence in the universe and playing of the game "Monopoly" than Russo's book. (Both have marital breakups in them, though the one in my story only lasts for about ten seconds.) I'm just sayin'.
