=20No question. =20He bent over, ignoring th=
e pain in his legs, and began to work the loose section of baseboard out w=
ith his fingers. =20When Annie arrived=
back at quarter of three that afternoon, her normally frizzy hair flatten=
ed around her head in the shape of the helmet she had been wearing, she wa=
s in a silent mood that seemed to indicate tiredness and reflection rather=
than depression. =20She drew in breath in one =
great convulsive gulp, re-starting her own heart, it seemed. =
=20He could see this but reached anyway, unable to believe Fat=
e or God or Whoever could be so cruel. =
=20It was while he ate the soup that she told him what had happened, and=
he remembered it all as she told him and he supposed it was good to know =
how you happened to end up with your legs shattered, but the manner by whi=
ch he was coming to this knowledge was disquieting=A0=97 it was as if he w=
as a character in a story or a play, a character whose history is not reco=
unted like history but created like fiction., Miss Wilkes heard a brief sc=
ream followed by "terrible thudding sounds". =20He only opened them=
when he heard the rattle of her key in the kitchen door. =
=20He thought of Martian deathrays, burning London in fire. =

o you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so =
help you God? =20You didn't know exactly where to find the gotta, but you=
always knew when you did. =20"She took the pac=
kage of Corrasable Bond, then snatched the sheet with the two smudged line=
s and crumpled it into a ball. =20Now he looked=
back at her, startled out of the careful neutrality he had maintained all=
through his visit. =20There he would be at the end of Chapter 6, De=
ath in the Sky, unconscious while his plane went into a power dive. =
=20""The next time they come they'll have the search warrant,=BBshe said, =
and left before he could reply. =20Mo=
ving caused the band of fire below his waist and in his legs to sink in de=
eper, cinching his legs like belts studded with hot, inward-pointing spike=
s. =20The realization had not helped, h=
owever, and this had caused him to wonder if perhaps Gary Ruddman hadn't b=

or at the time. =20She didn't hit him; she seized th=

es were nearly touching. =20He felt more and more convinced that her e=
yes, which appeared to move, were actually just painted on, and they moved=
no more than the eyes of portraits which appear to follow you to wherever=
you move in the room where they hang. =20They had bou=

marriage was falling apart. =20In each case the pattern was the same: a=

two or three unremarkable deaths. =20It snarled dully in what remained =
of his shins and in the bunched salt-dome that had replaced his left knee.=
=20Paul sat reflectively for a moment, re-read the last lin=
e (mentally filling in the omissions), and then simply went back to work. =

=20He had done amazingly well for a man who had once found it impos=
sible to write if he was out of cigarettes or if he had a backache or a he=
adache a degree or two above a low drone. =20As the car roare=
d away, Paul could make out a bumper sticker pasted to the rear window. =
=20"She untacked it, and the boy on his sled disappeared Paul watched =
this happen with an absurd pang of regret. =

(and this led to the epilogue, which consisted of the bruising interrogati=

), Paul had interviewed a number of crash victims. =20Annie walked back t=
o the mower, got on, started it up, and drove it around back.</font></p>
