>The moonlight shone down on the place, unhindered. The gnarled parapets jagged upwards, like a bony hand of icy indifference. In the background, there was a pigeon. Who knew how long the place had stood there? Forty years? Fifty years? Tempus immemoria, i.e. always? But it was a bad place. That much was certain. A very bad place indeed.

Fucking really?

>Tempus immemoria

grammatically, that should be tempus immemor or tempora immemoria. semantically, though, the phrase makes no sense in latin: tempus immemor means "forgetful time" and not "time immemorial"

>Nina's eyes popped out of what was left of her back. Why oh why had she opened that tomb? The sand turned red. This was because she was bleeding on it. Blood - ruby-red blood, her blood. Blood… and piss and shit. This was the worst day of her life.
