@@@@@
A hurt body and mind aren't just like @@@@@ A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorshipThere is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusionThat my mind had been as badly hurt as my body was a thing I only came to realize once I was alone and all other voices dropped awayThe fact that I had tried to choke my wife of twentyfive years for doing no more than trying to wipe 100 the sweat off my forehead after I told her to leave the room was the very least of itThe fact that we hadn't made love a single time in the months between the accident and the separation, didn't even try, wasn't at the heart of it, either, although I thought it was suggestive of the larger problemEven the sudden and distressing bursts of anger weren't at the heart of the matter That heart was a kind of pulling-awayI don't know how else to describe itMy wife had come to seem like someoneMost of the people in my life also felt other, and the dismaying thing was that I didn't much careIn the beginning I had tried to tell myself that the otherness I felt when I thought about my wife and my life was probably natural enough in a man who sometimes couldn't even remember the name of that thing you pulled up to close your pants - the zoomer, the zimmer, the zippity-doo-dahI told myself it would pass, and when it didn't and Pam told me she wanted a divorce, what followed my anger was reliefBecause now that other feeling was okay to have, at least toward herNow she really was 101 otherShe'd taken off the Freemantle uniform and quit the team During my first weeks on Duma, that sense of otherness allowed me to prevaricate easily and fluentlyI answered letters and e-mails from people like Tom Riley, Kathi Green, and William Bozeman III - the immortal Bozie - with short jottings (I'm fine, the weather's fine, the bones are mending) that bore little resemblance to my actual lifeAnd when their communications first slowed and then stopped, I wasn't sorry Only Ilse still seemed to be on my teamOnly Ilse refused to turn in her uniformI never got that other feeling about herIlse was still on my side of the glass window, always reaching outIf I didn't e-mail her every day, she calledIf I didn't call her once every third day, she called meAnd to her I didn't lie about my plans to fish in the Gulf or check out the Evergl | | Sunday, December 26th, 2010 | | 4:14 pm |

us, IanDid you hear what she @@@@@You're one of us, IanDid you hear what she said in there? She was screamingmonstersThat's how she sees us nowShe doesn't want your comfort They didn't speak againA minute passed, and I heard one set of slow footsteps moving around the edge of the roomEventually, the light swept across me, turning my lids red again I huddled myself more tightly together, expecting him to touch me There was a quiet sigh, and then the sound of him sitting on the stone, not as close beside me as I would have expected With a click, the light disappeared I waited in the silence for a long time for him to speak, but he was just as silent as I was Finally, I stopped waiting and returned to my mourningIan did not interruptI sat in the blackness of the big hole in the ground and grieved for lost souls with a human at my side CHAPTER 41 Vanished Ian sat with me for three days in the darkness He left for only a few short minutes at a time, to get us food and waterAt first, Ian ate, though I did notThen, as he realized that it wasn't a loss of appetite that left my tray full, he stopped eating, too I used his brief absences to deal with the physical needs that I could not ignore, thankful for the proximity of the odorous streamAs my fast lengthened, those needs vanished I couldn't keep from sleeping, but I did not make myself comfortableThe first day, I woke to find my head and shoulders cradled on his lapI recoiled from him, shuddering so violently that he did not repeat the gestureAfter that, I slumped against the stones where I was, and when I woke, I would curl back up into my silent ball at once “Please,” Ian whispered on the third day–at least I thought it was the third day; there was no way to be sure of the passing time in this dark, silent p | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 4:14 pm |

He'll be glad to see youI'd kinda like to see him againThey don't make them more sociable than your father With a delicious effort Hearn restrained himself from saying, Maybe he can give you a job at the gate, keeping people out Instead he stood up"I'm going in for a dip," he announcedHe sprinted down the beach, hit the water flatly, and coasted under, feeling his mirth, his disgust, his weariness wash away in the delight of cold water against his heated fleshWhen he came up he spouted some water gleefully, and began to swimOn the beach the officers were still sunning themselves, playing bridge or talkingTwo of them were throwing a ball back and forthThe jungle looked almost pretty from the water Some artillery boomed very faintly over the horizonHearn ducked under again, came up slowlyThe General had said once, savoring the epigram, "Corruption is the cement that keeps the Army from breaking apart Conn? Cummings hadn't applied it that way, but Conn was still a product All right and so was heWhat was corruption but knowing virtue and eschewing it? All very neatAnd where did General Cummings fit in? That was a bigger question, that was one which couldn't be tied up in a packageIn any case he was going to stay away from the GeneralCummings had left him alone, and he would return the compli | | Friday, December 24th, 2010 | | 4:06 pm |

Only low-life drunks did such a thingThings weren't so bad, really, she told herselfAt least she knew now when Rhett would be coming backIt was much too far in the future, but it was definiteNow she wouldn't waste time wondering if today might be the day or the day after that February opened with a surprising warm spell that called forth premature leaves on trees and filled the air with the scent of waking earth"Open all the windows," Scarlett told the servants, "and let the mustiness out The breeze lifting the loose tendrils of hair at her temples was deliciousSuddenly she was gripped by a terrible longing for TaraShe'd be able to sleep there with the spring-laden wind, bringing the smell of the warming earth into her bedroomColleton will be able to start at least three more houses once this weather gets the frost out of the ground, but he'll never do it unless I nag him into it I've never known such a picky man in all my lifeEverything has to be just soHe'll wait till the ground's warm enough to dig to China and find no frostSuppose she went for just a few days? A few days wouldn't make that much difference, would it? Scarlett remembered Ashley's pallor and dejected slump at the Carnival Ball, and she made a small sound of disappointmentShe wouldn't be able to relax at Tara if she did goShe sent Pansy with a message to Elias to bring the carriage aroundShe had to go find Joe ColletonThat evening, as if to reward her for doing her duty, the doorbell sounded just after darkness fell"Scarlett, honey," Tony Fontaine called out when the butler let him in, "an old friend needs a room for the night, will you be merciful?"
