seen Al Shockley more than ever�察�but he came home early and there was no liquor 
on his breath。 She imagined she smelled it�察�but knew it wasn't so。 Another week。 
And another。 
  Divorce went back to mittee�察�unvoted on。 
  What had happened�拭�She still wondered and still had not the slightest idea。 
The subject was taboo between them。 He was like a man who had leaned around a 
corner and had seen an unexpected monster lying in wait�察�crouching among the 
dried bones of its old kills。 The liquor remained in the cabinet�察�but he didn't 
touch it。 She had considered throwing them out a dozen times but in the end 
always backed away from the idea�察�as if some unknown charm would be broken by 
the act。 
  And there was Danny's part in it to consider。 
  If she felt she didn't know her husband�察�then she was in awe of her child ! awe 
in the strict meaning of that word�此�a kind of undefined superstitious dread。 
  Dozing lightly�察�the image of the instant of his birth was presented to her。 
She was again lying on the delivery table�察�bathed in sweat�察�her hair in strings�察�
her feet splayed out in the stirrups 
  ��and a little high from the gas they kept giving her whiffs of�察�at one point 
she had muttered that she felt like an advertisement for gang rape�察�and the 
nurse�察�an old bird who had assisted at the births of enough children to populate 
a high school�察�found that extremely funny�� 
  the doctor between her legs�察�the nurse off to one side�察�arranging instruments 
and humming。 The sharp�察�glassy pains had been ing at steadily shortening 
intervals�察�and several times she had screamed in spite of her shame。 
  Then the doctor told her quite sternly that she must PUSH�察�and she did�察�and 
then she felt something being taken from her。 It was a clear and distinct 
feeling�察�one she would never forget´the thing taken。 Then the doctor held her 
son up by the legs´she had seen his tiny sex and known he was a boy immediately´ 
and as the doctor groped for the airmask�察�she had seen something else�察�something 


 
 
so horrible that she found the strength to scream again after she had thought 
all screams were used up�此�
  He has no face� �
  But of course there had been a face�察�Danny's own sweet face�察�and the caul that 
had covered it at birth now resided in a small jar which she had kept�察�almost 
shamefully。 She did not hold with old superstition�察�but she had kept the caul 
nevertheless。 She did not hold with wives' tales�察�but the boy had been unusual 
from the first。 She did not believe in second sight but !  
  Did Daddy have an accident�拭�I dreamed Daddy had an accident。 
  Something had changed him。 She didn't believe it was just her getting ready to 
ask for a divorce that had done it。 Something had happened before that morning。 
Something that had happened while she slept uneasily。 Al Shockley said that 
nothing had happened�察�nothing at all�察�but he had averted his eyes when he said 
it�察�and if you believed faculty gossip�察�Al had also climbed aboard the fabled 
wagon。 
  Did Daddy have an accident�拭�
  Maybe a chance collision with fate�察�surely nothing much more concrete。 She had 
read that day's paper and the next day's with a closer eye than usual�察�but she 
saw nothing she could connect with Jack。 God help her�察�she had been looking for 
a hit´and´run accident or a barroom brawl that had resulted in serious injuries 
or 。。。 who knew�拭�Who wanted to�拭�But no policeman came to call�察�either to ask 
questions or with a warrant empowering him to take paint scrapings from the WV's 
bumpers。 Nothing。 Only her husband's one hundred and eighty degree change and 
her son's sleepy question on waking�此�
  Did Daddy have an accident�拭�I dreamed 。。。 
  She had stuck with Jack more for Danny's sake than she would admit in her 
waking hours�察�but now�察�sleeping lightly�察�she could admit it�此�Danny had been 
Jack's for the asking�察�almost from the first。 Just as she had been her father's�察�
almost from the first。 She couldn't remember Danny ever spitting a bottle back 
on Jack's shirt。 Jack could get him to eat after she had given up in disgust�察�
even when Danny was teething and it gave him visible pain to chew。 When Danny 
had a stomachache�察�she would rock him for an hour before he began to quiet�察�Jack 
had only to pick him up�察�walk twice around the room with him�察�and Danny would be 
asleep on lack's shoulder�察�his thumb securely corked in his mouth。 
  He hadn't minded changing diapers�察�even those he called the special 
deliveries。 He sat with Danny for hours on end�察�bouncing him on his lap�察�playing 
finger games with him�察�making faces at him while Danny poked at his nose and 
then collapsed with the giggles。 He made formulas and administered them 
faultlessly�察�getting up every last burp afterward。 He would take Danny with him 
in the car to get the paper or a bottle of milk or nails at the hardware store 
even when their son was still an infant。 He had taken Danny to a Stovington´ 
Keene soccer match when Danny was only six months old�察�and Danny had sat 
motionlessly on his father's lap through the whole game�察�wrapped in a blanket�察�a 
small Stovington pennant clutched in one chubby fist。 
  He loved his mother but he was his father's boy。 
  And hadn't she felt�察�time and time again�察�her son's wordless opposition to the 
whole idea of divorce�拭�She would be thinking about it in the kitchen�察�turning it 
over in her mind as she turned the potatoes for supper over in her hands for the 


 
 
peeler's blade。 And she would turn around to see him sitting cross´legged in a 
kitchen chair�察�looking at her with eyes that seemed both frightened and 
accusatory。 Walking with him in the park�察�he would suddenly seize both her hands 
and say ! almost demand�此 �Do you love me�拭�Do you love daddy�拭─�And�察�confused�察�she 
would nod or say�察 �Of course I do�察�honey。; Then he would run to the duck pond�察�
sending them squawking and scared to the other end�察�flapping their wings in a 
panic before the small ferocity of his charge�察�leaving her to stare after him 
and wonder。 
  There were even times when it seemed that her determination to at least 
discuss the matter with Jack dissolved�察�not out of her own weakness�察�but under 
the determination of her son's will。 
  I don't believe such things。 
  But in sleep she did believe them�察�and in sleep�察�with her husband's seed still 
drying on her thighs�察�she felt that the three of them had been permanently 
welded together ! that if their three/oneness was to be destroyed�察�it would not 
be destroyed by any of them but from outside。 
  Most of what she believed centered around her love for Jack。 She had never 
stopped loving him�察�except maybe for that dark period immediately following 
Danny's ;accident。; And she loved her son。 Most of all she loved them together�察�
walking or riding or only sitting�察�Jack's large head and Danny's small one 
poised alertly over the fans of old maid hands�察�sharing a bottle of Coke�察�
looking at the funnies。 She loved having them with her�察�and she hoped to dear 
God that this hotel caretaking job Al had gotten for Jack would be the beginning 
of good times again。 
 
                       And the wind gonna rise up�察�baby�察�
                       and blow my blues away 。。。 
 
  Soft and sweet and mellow�察�the song came back and lingered�察�following her down 
into a deeper sleep where thought ceased and the faces that came in dreams went 
unremembered。

IN ANOTHER BEDROOM 
 
 
  Danny awoke with the booming still loud in his ears�察�and the drunk�察�savagely 
pettish voice crying hoarsely�此�e out here and take your medicine� �I'll find 
you� �I'll find youl 
  But now the booming was only his racing heart�察�and the only voice in the night 
was the faraway sound of a police siren。 
  He lay in bed motionlessly�察�looking up at the wind´stirred shadows of the 


 
 
leaves on his bedroom ceiling。 They twined sinuously together�察�making shapes 
like the vines and creepers in a jungle�察�like patterns woven into the nap of a 
thick carpet。 He was clad in Doctor Denton pajamas�察�but between the pajama suit 
and his skin he had grown a more closely fitting singlet of perspiration。 
  ;Tony�拭─�he whispered。 ;You there�拭─�
  No answer。 
  He slipped out of bed and padded silently across to the window and looked out 
on Arapahoe Street�察�now still and silent。 It was two in the morning。 There was 
nothing out there but empty sidewalks drifted with fallen leaves�察�parked cars�察�
and the long´necked streetlight on the corner across from the Cliff Brice gas 
station。 With its hooded top and motionless stance�察�the streetlight looked like 
a monster in a space show。 
  He looked up the street both ways�察�straining his eyes for Tony's slight�察�
beckoning form�察�but there was no one there。 
  The wind sighed through the trees�察�and the fallen leaves rattled up the 
deserted walks and around the hubcaps of parked cars。 It was a faint and 
sorrowful sound�察�and the boy thought that he might be the only one in Boulder 
awake enough to hear it。 The only human being�察�at least。 There was no way of 
knowing what else might be out in the night�察�slinking hungrily through the 
shadows�察�watching and scenting the breeze。 
  I'll find you� �I'll find you� �
  ;Tony�拭─�he whispered again�察�but without much hope。 
  Only the wind spoke back�察�gusting more strongly this time�察�scattering leaves 
across the sloping roof below his window。 Some of them slipped into the 
raingutter and came to rest there like tired dancers。 
  Danny 。。。 Danneee 。。。 
  He started at the sound of that familiar voice and craned out the window�察�his 
small hands on the sill。 With the sound of Tony's voice the whole night seemed 
to have e silently and secretly alive�察�whispering even when the wind quieted 
again and the leaves were still and the shadows had stopped moving。 He thought 
he saw a darker shadow standing by the bus stop a block down�察�but it was hard to 
tell if it was a real thing or an eye´trick。 
  Don't go�察�Danny 。 。 
  Then the wind gusted again�察�making him squint�察�and the shadow by the bus stop 
was gone 。。。 if it had ever been there at all。 He stood by his window for 
  ��a minute�拭�an hour�殖� 
  some time longer�察�but there was no more。 At last he crept back into his bed 
and pulled the blankets up and watched the shadows thrown by the alien 
streetlight turn into a sinuous jungle filled with flesh´eating plants that 
wanted only to slip around him�察�squeeze the life out of him�察�and drag him down 
into a blackness where one sinister word flashed in red�此�
  REDRUM。

A VIEW OF THE OVERLOOK 
 
 
  Mommy was worried。 
  She was afraid the bug wouldn't make it up and down all these mountains and 
that they would get stranded by the side of the road where somebody might e 
ripping along and hit them。 Danny himself was more sanguine�察�if Daddy thought 
the bug would make this one last trip�察�then probably it would。 
  ;We're just about there�察─�Jack said。 
  Wendy brushed her hair back from her temples。 ;Thank God。; 
  She was sitting in the right´hand bucket�察�a Victoria Holt paperback open but 
face down in her lap。 She was wearing her blue dress�察�the one Danny thought was 
her prettiest。 It had a sailor collar and made her look very young�察�like a girl 
just getting ready to graduate from high school。 Daddy kept putting his hand 
high up on her leg and she kept laughing and brushing it off�察�saying Get away�察�
fly。 
  Danny was impressed with the mountains。 One day Daddy had taken them up in the 
ones near Boulder�察�the ones they called the Flatirons�察�but these were much 
bigger�察�and on the tallest of them you could see a fine dusting of snow�察�which 
Daddy said was often there year´round。 
  And they were actually in the mountains�察�no goofing around。 Sheer rock faces 
rose all around them�察�so high you could barely see their tops even by craning 
your neck out the window。 When they left Boulder�察�the temperature had been in 
the hig
