    @@@@@When distracted
    and carrying something in my left hand, I
    sometimes reached out with my right one to open a

    doorAmputees forget, that's allTheir minds
    forget and as they heal, their bodies let them
    What I mostly remember about that evening is the
    wonderful, blissful sensation of having caught an
    actual bolt of lightning in a bottle for three or
    four minutesBy then the room had begun to dim
    out, the shadows seeming to swim forward over the
    rose-colored carpet toward the fading rectangle of
    the picture windowEven with the last light
    striking across my easel, I couldn't get a good
    look at what I'd doneI got up, limped around the
    treadmill to the switch by the door, and flipped
    on the overheadThen I went back, turned the
    easel, and caught my breath
    The sophora bracelet seemed to rear over the
    horizon-line like the tentacle of a sea creature
    big enough to swallow a supertankerThe single
    yellow blossom could have been an alien eyeMore
    important to me, it had somehow given the sunset
    back the truth of its ordinary I-do-this-everynight
    beauty
    That picture I set asideThen I went downstairs,
    microwaved a Hungry Man fried chicken dinner, and
    ate it right down to the bottom of the box

    The following night I lined the sunset with
    bundles of witchgrass, and the brilliant orange
    shining through the green turned the horizon into
    a forest fireThe night after that I tried palm
    trees, but that was no good, that one was another
    cliché, I could almost see hula-hula girls and
    hear ukes strummingNext I put a big old conch
    shell on the horizon with the sunset firing off
    around it like a corona, and the result was - to
    me, at least - almost unbearably creepyThat one
    I turned to the wall, thinking when I looked at it
    the next day it would have lost its magic, but it
    hadn't
    I snapped a picture of it with my digital camera,
    and attached it to an e-mailIt prompted the
    following exchange, which I printed out and stowed
    in a folder:

    Kamen: I told you I was drawing pictures again

    and forth, pendulums of lightEven with the flashlights, they didn't find me until the third
    search of the roomWhy couldn't they leave me alone?
    When the flashlight's beam finally disinterred me, there was a gasp of relief
    “I found her! Tell the others to get back inside! She's in here after all!”
    I knew the voice, but I didn't put a name to it
    “Wanda? Wanda? Are you all right?”
    I didn't raise my head or open my eyes
    “Where's Ian?”
    “Should we get Jamie, do you think?”
    “He shouldn't be on that legI shuddered at his nameHe was a monster, tooHe was just like the rest of
    themIt was a physical pain to think of him
    “Where is she?”
    “Over here, JaredShe's not… responding
    “We didn't touch her
    “Here, give me the light,” Jared said“Now, the rest of you, get out of here
    Give her some air, okay?”
    There was a shuffling noise that didn't travel far
    The shuffling was slow at first, but then became more productiveI could hear many footsteps
    fading away in the room and then disappearing out of it
    Jared waited until it was silent again
    “Okay, Wanda, it's just you and me
    He waited for some kind of answer
    “Look, I guess that must have been pretty… badWe never wanted you to see that
    Sorry? Geoffrey'd said it was Jared's ideaHe wanted to cut me out, slice me into little pieces,

    "Well, let's not drop the ball next time Dalleson threw away the pebbles in his hand and searched for a larger one
    "This's the last picture in the roll, Major
    "Hell, we'll make it Dalleson wiped the sweat out of his eyes again, bent over, and stared at his kneesHis heart was beating a little rapidly"You snap it soon's you hear the carbine go off," he growled
    Up went the pebble and his rifle pointing after itThere was a panicky instant when he couldn't locate it in his sights, and then as it started to fall he caught it over the front-leaf sight, adjusted instinctively, and felt the reassuring minor jolt of the stock, the slight kick, as he pressed the trigger
    "I got it that time, Major
    Ripples on the water were still spreading from the fragments of the pebble"Goddam," Dalleson said again with enjoyment"I appreciate this, Leach
    "That's okay, sir
    "Lemme pay you for it
    "I insist," Dalleson saidHe slipped the magazine out of the carbine, and fired the round remaining in the chamber into the air"Let's call it a quarter for the three picturesI sure hope they come out good He patted Leach on the back"C'mon, son, let's you and me go for a swim

    @@@@@All we had to do was not think When we woke,
    @@@@@All we had to do was not think
    When we woke, it was still night, but dawn was threatening on the eastern horizon–the
    mountains were lined with dull redOur mouth tasted of dust, and at first we were sure that we
    had dreamed Uncle Jeb's appearance
    Our head was clearer this morning, and we noticed quickly the strange shape near our right
    cheek–something that was not a rock or a cactusWe touched it, and it was hard and smooth
    We nudged it, and the delicious sound of sloshing water came from inside
    Uncle Jeb was real, and he'd left us a canteen
    We sat up carefully, surprised when we didn't break in two like a withered stickActually, we
    felt betterThe water must have had time to work its way through some of our bodyThe pain
    was dull, and for the first time in a long while, we felt hungry again
    Our fingers were stiff and clumsy as we twisted the cap from the top of the canteenIt wasn't
    all the way full, but there was enough water to stretch the walls of our belly again–it must have
    shrunkWe drank it all; we were done with rationing
    We dropped the metal canteen to the sand, where it made a dull thud in the predawn silence
    We felt wide awake nowWe sighed, preferring unconsciousness, and let our head fall into our
    handsWhat now?
    “Why did you give it water, Jeb?” an angry voice demanded, close behind our back
    We whirled, twisting onto our kneesWhat we saw made our heart falter and our awareness
    splinter apart
    There were eight humans half-circled around where I knelt under the treeThere was no
    question they were humans, all of themI'd never seen faces contorted into such
    expressions–not on my kindThese lips twisted with hatred, pulled back over clenched teeth
    like wild animalsThese brows pulled low over eyes that burned with fury

    @@@@@"I packed a few extras
    We worked our way up the overgrown driveway,
    keeping an eye out for the lawn jockeyAt the top of the porch steps, Jack set
    the picnic basket down with a little sigh of
    reliefFrom behind us came a flurry and flutter
    of wings
    957
    We turned and saw a heron alight on the driveway
    It could have been the same one that had been
    giving me the cold-eye from El Palacio's tennis
    courtCertainly the gaze was the same: blue and
    sharp and without an ounce of pity
    "Is that real?" Wireman asked"What do you think,
    Edgar?"
    "It's real," I said
    "How do you know?"
    I could have pointed out that the heron was
    casting a shadow, but for all I knew, the lawn
    jockey had been casting one, as well; I had been
    too amazed to noticeCome on, let's
    go insideAnd don't bother knockingThis isn't a
    social call
    xiii
    "Uh, this could be a problem," Jack said
    The veranda was deeply shadowed by mats of hanging
    Spanish Moss, but once our eyes had adjusted to
    the gloom, we could see a thick and rusty chain
    encircling the double doorsNot one but two
    958
    padlocks hung down from itThe chain had been run
    through hooks on either jamb
    Wireman stepped forward for a closer look"You
    know," he said, "Jack and I might be able to snap
    one or both of those hooks right offThey've seen
    better days
    "Better years," Jack said
    "Maybe," I said, "but the doors themselves are
    almost certainly locked, and if you go rattling
    chains and snapping hooks, you're going to disturb
    the neighbors
    "Neighbors?" Wireman asked
    I pointed straight upWireman and Jack followed
    my finger and saw what I already had: a large
    colony of brown bats sleeping in what looked like
    a vast hanging cloud of cob

    losing all my rents, and I bought all that stuff She couldn't
    verbalize the deepest hurt of allThe land, O'hara land, had turned
    against her, and the people, her people, of BallyharaShe poured all
    of her energies into Cat's towerThe same woman who hadn't so
    much as
    peered through a window to see what was happening to her house
    now
    spent hours going through all the rooms, scrutinizing each piece of
    furniture, each rug, every blanket, quilt, pillow, selecting the
    best
    Cat was the final arbiterShe looked over her mother's choices and
    picked a bright flowered bathmat, three patchwork quilts, and a
    Sevres
    vase, the vase for her paintbrushesThe mat and quilts went into a
    deep wide indentation in the massively thick wall of the towerFor
    her nap, said CatThen she patiently went back and forth, house to
    tower, with her favorite picture books, her paint box, her leaf
    collection, and a box containing stale crumbs saved from cakes that
    she
    had especially likedShe was planning to lure birds and animals to

    But it's Jamie,she whisperedShe yearned for the boy with an emotion so strong that it
    weakened my knees again
    I tried to look at him impartially–this sullen-faced teenager slumped against the tunnel wall
    with his arms folded tightly across his chestI tried to see him as a stranger and plan my
    response, or lack of response, accordinglyI tried, but I failedHe was Jamie, he was beautiful,
    and my arms–mine, not Melanie's–longed to hold himTears filled my eyes and trickled down
    my faceI could only hope they were invisible in the dim light
    “Jeb,” Jamie said–a gruff greetingHis eyes passed swiftly over me and away
    His voice was so deep! Could he really be so old? I realized with a double pang of guilt that I'd
    just missed his fourteenth birthdayMelanie showed me the day, and I saw that it was the same
    day as the first dream with JamieShe'd struggled so hard all through the waking hours to keep
