"He showed you a picture? "Then what are we to do? She had actually died of the fractured skull she had received when she struck the mantel, and she had struck the mantel because she had tripped. He wore an old smoking jacket with the belt askew, an open-throated white shirt, and a pair of rough serge pants that would have looked more at home upon the legs of a itinerant gardener than upon those of the richest man in Little Dunthorpe. There was no ten-second deadline, of course — he'd had no contract for the book, had written it on spec, and hence there was no delivery date to think about. "She laughed merrily to show what a joke on her that would be, but Paul did not join her. Paul did not need a notarised statement telegram to tell him that this was Annie's sainted mother.and I can't give you any more pills for two hours. "she nearly shrieked. He was sure, in those few seconds, that all of those things had happened. He was so vulnerable now. The county highway is Route 9, you know.

Tenant complaints had resulted in a warning from building inspectors the year before. It was, for Annie, a very winning smile, yet it had an unpleasant quality he could not quite put his finger on. And it wouldn't take long, lying out there in the pelting rain before he died of exposure. Annie Wilkes was the perfect audience, a woman who loved stories without having the slightest interest in the mechanics of making them. These things all came at widely spaced intervals, but then as the pain itself began not to recede but to erode (as that Revere Beach piling must itself have eroded, he thought, because nothing is forever — although the child he had been would have scoffed at such heresy), outside things began to impinge more rapidly until the objective world, with all its freight of memory, experience, and prejudice, had pretty much re-established itself. ""If you make me much madder, I don't promise to be responsible,»she said, but he sensed the crisis was already past — she was strangely vulnerable to these concepts of discipline and behavior. Paul hid behind his work and tried not to think about his car, the discovery of which was already overdue. Her complexion was still too pallid, but in her cheeks Ian could see the first signs of returning color. He supposed there was a certain symbolism in Annie's pantry — the ranks of goods had something to say about the murkiness of the borderline between the Sovereign State of Reality and the People's Republic of Paranoia. Long enough, at any rate, to have awakened not to find herself on her back lawn where she had been picking flowers, but buried alive in her own coffin. Please God don't let it be her cache of extra shampoo or her tampons or pictures of her dear old sainted mother or — He fumbled for one of the boxes, dragged it out, and opened the flaps. Please God, no God, don't let her hurt me God — His thumb pressed convulsively tight against the tongue of the lock, and there was a muffled snap as the bobby-pin broke. Actually, it would have been better if he hadn't gone as far as he did, because there are always hikers and bird-watchers in the Grider Preserve. They shrank steadily as he sat in the sun by the window, bent over, sometimes scratching absently with the great toe of his right foot at the air where the sole of his left foot had been, looking through the hole in the paper. This was clearly the question that wanted asking, but he wasn't sure it was a question either of them wanted asked. "He was on his feet a moment later, sprinting back toward the pony-trap, where the digging tools were, his slippered feet sending the placid groumdmist into excited little roils. Getting out of the shotgun seat of this cruiser was a small, slope-shouldered plainsclothesman with lank blonde hair. Annie, he guessed, had gotten as casually catch-as-catch-can about showering as she had about changing her calendars. So best to eradicate the phone, silence it, as she would silence him if she knew he had gotten even this far. ""You didn't try the telephone either time, I suppose, or took at the locks — because you are just such a good little boy. It crossed my mind that you'd been out of your room, but then I thought, No, that's impossible He could see fifteen or twenty little boys and girls sitting in a circle in one shady corner of a playground, all of them wearing Malden Community Center tee-shirts, all listening intently as the counsellor explained how the game was played.
