D the ears like a mallet. Everything went black. Of course it would
have been just my luck to get a broken neck out of it and give the
scientist no chance to revive
me. But after a second or two, or a minute, or it could have been an
hour, the blackness went away enough to allow me to know I was hanging
on the end of the rope, kicking, fighting, choking to death. My tongue
swelled, my face and head and heart and body seemed ready to burst.
Slowly I went into
a deep mist that I knew then was _the_

special hurry he loaded me onto his little truck and drove easily
away. But once clear of the crowd he
pushed his foot down on the gas and in five more minutes--with me
hovering all the while alongside
of him, mind you--floating along as though
I had been a bird all my life--we
turned into the driveway of a summer home. The scientific
guy met him.
They carried
me into the house, into a fine-fitted laboratory. My dead body was
placed on a table, a
