@@@@@Then I said several people had
told me he @@@@@Then I said several people had told me he was acting strange - not like himself - and I put that together with him not taking his antidepressant pills and began to worryI said I thought he was planning to kill himself She stopped for a moment, then went on "Before he came, I never meant to say it right out like thatBut it's funny - the minute he walked through the door I was almost positive, and when 359 he kissed me I knew for a factIt was like kissing a corpse "I'll bet," I said, and tried to scratch my right arm "His face tightened up and I mean reallyEvery line smoothed out, and his mouth almost disappearedHe asked me who put an idea like that in my headAnd then, before I could even answer, he said it was bullshitThat's the word he used, and it's not a Tom Riley word at all She was right about thatThe Tom I'd known in the old days wouldn't have said bullshit if he'd had a mouthful "I didn't want to give him any names - certainly not yours, because he would have thought I was crazy, and not Illy's, because I didn't know what he might say to her if-" "I told you, Illy had nothing to do with-" "Be quietI just said these people who were talking about how funny he was acting didn't even know about the pills he's been taking since the second divorce, and how he quit taking them last MayHe calls them stupid-pills I said if he thought he was keeping everything 360 that was wrong with him under wraps, he was mistakenThen I said that if he did something to himself, I'd tell his mother and brother it was suicide, and it would break their heartsThat was your idea, Edgar, and it workedI hope you're proudThat was when he broke my vase and called me a meddlesome cunt, see? He was as white as a sheetI could hear the click in her throat across all the miles"I bet he had the way he was going to do it all planned out "I don't doubt it," I sai | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 11:23 am |
@@@@@We ate, and drank the rest of our water, in @@@@@We ate, and drank the rest of our water, in silenceJared's face was serious and focused “Still in a hurry?” he asked as we climbed into the jeepI wanted the time to stretch out forever What was the point in putting it off? The Seeker and her body would die if we waited too long, and I would still have to make the same choice “We'll hit Phoenix, thenIt's logical that they wouldn't notice this kind of raidIt doesn't make sense for humans to take your cold-storage tanksWhat possible use could we have for them?” The question didn't sound at all rhetorical, and I could feel him looking at me againBut I stared ahead at the rocks and said nothing It had been dark for a while by the time we traded vehicles and got to the freewayJared waited a few careful minutes with the inconspicuous sedan's lights offI counted ten cars passing by Then there was a long darkness between the headlights, and Jared pulled onto the road The trip to Phoenix was very short, though Jared kept the speed scrupulously below the limit Time was speeding up, as if the Earth were spinning faster We settled into the steady-moving traffic, flowing with it along the highway that circled the flat, sprawling cityI saw the hospital from the roadWe followed another car up the exit ramp, moving evenly, without hurry Jared turned into the main parking lot “Where now?” he asked, tense “See if this road continues around the backThe tanks will be by a loading areaThere were many souls here, going in and out of the facility, some of them in scrubsNo one paid us any particular atten | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 11:40 am |
@@@@@
In the boys' bedroom, Matthew is asleep, @@@@@ In the boys' bedroom, Matthew is asleep, and Edward, age seven, is sitting in a corner, sewing snips of thread into a scrap of cloth The father steps toward him, throws his shadow across the boy's faceWhat are you doing, boy? The child looks up petrifiedAnd the scraps, the thread, are hurled into the wastebasket He hears the argument raging about him, conducted in hoarse passionate whispers as a sop to his sleeping brotherI won't have him actin' like a goddam woman, you're to stop feedin' him all these books, all this womanish(The baseball bat and glove are gathering dust in the atticI didn't tell him a thing You didn't tell him to sew? Please, Cyrus, let him aloneThe slap reddens his cheek from the ear to the mouthThe boy sits on the floor, the tears dropping on his lap And you're to act like a man from now on, do you understand? Only when they have gone, too many things twist in his comprehensionThe mother had given him the thread, told him to do it quietly
The sermon ends in churchWe are all children of the Lord Jesus and God, instruments of His compassion, committed unto earth to enact the instruments of His goodness, to sow the seeds of brotherhood and good works A fine sermon, the mother says Was he right? Edward asks Certainly, Cyrus says, only you got to take it with a grain of cautionLife's a hard thing and nobody gives you nothingEvery man's hand is against you, that's what you also find out Then he was wrong, FatherHe's right and I'm right, and it's just in religion you act one way, and in business, which is a lesser thing, well, you go about things in another wayIt's still Christian The mother caresses his shoulderIt was a wonderful sermon, Edwa | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 11:18 am |
@@@@@And yet it was not the sameFor in the
past, @@@@@And yet it was not the sameFor in the past, she had been running and reaching for something unnamed and unknowable, and now ahead of her she could glimpse through streaks in the mist Rhett's broad back, always moving awayAnd she knew that he was what she was searching for, that when she reached him the dream would lose its power and fade away, never to returnShe ran and ran, but he was always far ahead, always with his back turned on her Then the fog thickened, and he began to disappear, and she cried out to himYou're dreaming, it's not real Strong arms lifted her and held her, and she was warm and safe at lastScarlett half-woke with a startInstead, a lamp on a table cast a glowing light and she could see Rhett's face bent close above hers "Oh, Rhett," she cried "The old dream?" "Yes, yes-well, almostThere was something different, I can't remember But I was cold and hungry and I couldn't see because of the fog, and I was so frightened, Rhett, it was terrible He held her close and his voice vibrated in his hard chest next to her ear GCOf course you were cold and hungryThat supper wasn fit to eat, and you've kicked off your blanketsI'll pull them up, and you'll sleep just fine He laid her down against the pillows Rhett spread the blankets up over her "There'll be biscuits for breakfast, and hominy, and butter enough to turn them yellowThink about that-and country ham and fresh eggsand you'll sleep like a babyYou've always been a good feeder, Scarlett His voice was amusedShe closed her heavy eyelids "Rhett?" It was a blurred, drowsy sou |
