〃All right;〃 Jack said; and at that moment; at least; he meant it。 The same

way he had always meant it on those mornings after; looking at his pale and

haggard face in the bathroom mirror。 Im going to stop; going to cut it off

flat。 But morning gave way to afternoon; and in the afternoons he felt a little

better。 And afternoon gave way to night。 As some great twentieth…century thinker

had said; night must fall。

He found himself wishing that Wendy would ask him about the hedges; would ask

him what Danny meant; when he said You know because you saw —  If she did; he

would tell her everything。 Everything。 The hedges; the woman in the room; even

about the fire hose that seemed to have switched positions。 But where did

confession stop? Could he tell her hed thrown the magneto away; that they could

all be down in Sidewinder right now if he hadnt done that?

What she said was; 〃Do you want tea?〃

〃Yes。 A cup of tea would be good。〃

She went to the door and paused there; rubbing her forearms through her

sweater。 〃Its my fault as much as yours;〃 she said。 〃What were we doing while

he was going through that 。。。 dream; or whatever it was?〃

〃Wendy — 〃

〃We were sleeping;〃 she said。 〃Sleeping like a couple of teenage kids with

their itch nicely scratched。〃

〃Stop it;〃 he said。 〃Its over。〃

〃No;〃 Wendy answered; and gave him a strange; restless smile。 〃Its not over。〃

She went out to make tea; leaving him to keep watch over their son。

THE ELEVATOR

Jack awoke from a thin and uneasy sleep where huge and ill…defined shapes

chased him through endless snowfields to what he first thought was another

dream: darkness; and in it; a sudden mechanical jumble of noises — clicks and

clanks; hummings; rattlings; snaps and whooshes。

Then Wendy sat up beside him and he knew it was no dream。

〃Whats that?〃 Her hand; cold marble; gripped his wrist。 He restrained an urge

to shake it off — how in the hell was he supposed to know what it was? The

illuminated clock on his nightstand said it was five minutes to twelve。

The humming sound again。 Loud and steady; varying the slightest bit。 Followed

by a clank as the humming ceased。 A rattling bang。 A thump。 Then the humming

resumed。
