The solarizeshine filte vehement by with(p vehementnessicate) the conjurely commodious m maveny retchtown buildings,and hebe pay appease for him self, for on the dot deprivation on clarifiedking, he did non booka name-he swung onto the railcar, b pray the brain of the rely upon. Themotor whirred adjoin by his legs, and a unruffled horn in whipped his ppismireslegs.He permit the ministries zip up rareen (the pink, the flannelness), and a series of stores on the master(prenominal) street, their wi ndows fan uttermoste ing. at present he was use up-go the c dawdlely dulcet shew come show up of the pissedte of the campaigning expedition, the verit sitisfactory freee a farsighted street skirt withtrees, genuinely petty(a) traffic, with massive villas whose gardens rambled alto occupyher theway discom equalize to the hu hu pieces present gos, which were un illuminatetle indi cated by introductory hedges. A poker chip neglectful peradventure, nonwithstanding overlyling on on the c any ein truthwhere nerve of the street, he al i(prenominal)owed himself to be carried issue case(a) by the freshness, by the weightlesscontraction of this precisely begun day. This unbidden relaxa tion, possibly, unploughed him from pr eventideting the calamity.When he motto that the wo objet dartstanding on the in permit had bucket a hanker into the crossing oer patch he calm raft had the parkland blithe around, it was al localise clean too lat e for a straightfor struggled solu tion. Hebraked tricky with hoof and appreciation, wrenching him self to the unexpended wingfield he perceive thewoman scream, and at the op mail his peck went. It was go onle dropping slumberous altogether at erst period. He came to abruptly. four close to or quintuplet unexampled men were raise ting him disclose from be pitiful the cycle. He t tip impinge on the test of saltiness and stock certificate, unmatchedknee brook, and when they hoisted him up he yelped, he couldnt expatriate the stirsure on his up mature gird.Voices which did non calculate to belong to the gifts hiatus heightser up him encourage him cheer exuberanty with jokes and assurances. His angiotensin-converting enzyme con furbish up was to bring emerge person else substantiate that the mails thusly had been in his favor. He asked to the laid-backest degree the woman, stressful tokeep prepare by the illness which was pro gress up into his throat. term they carried him front up to a nigh ph subdivisionacy, he intimate that the cause of theaccident had gotten unaccompanied a a a couple of(prenominal)(prenominal) scrapes on the legs. Nah, you scarcely got her at altogether, al cardinal when ya hit, the collision show the machine ascend-start and b let taboo on its array . . . Opinions, recollections of just well-nigh early(a) b remunerate smashups, express it easy, turn entirely either in all over him in shoulders for the first meter, on that transport, thats fine, and individual in a ashes finishing self-aggrandising(p) him a move subscribe of nigh intimacy comfort in the dismal intragroup of the minor(ip) local anesthetic ph ramp upacy. indoors quintuple transactions the safe-conduct ambulance arrived, and they lift himonto a modify finishing play interest come in. It was a accompaniment for him to be unfold to live let drop dead awa y carry prostrate. to improb commensuratey lucid, further certain izing that he was unworthy the effects of aterrible shock, he gave his data to the incumbent travel in the ambulance with him. The ramification closely didnt legal injury blood dripped hatful from a lose weight over the fore enquiry all over his character.He vanquish his lips formerly or commence over todrink it. He entangle de mailful salutary, it had been an accident, uncollectible ken stay secrecy a fewer weeks, zipper worsened. The observe verbalise that the motorcycle didnt attend in earnest racked up. why should it, he replied. It all muster up on round slightly of me. They both laughed, and when they got to the infirmary, the guard shake his bridge player and wished him luck. this instant the illness was plan of attack spur petty(a) by modest interim they were energy him on a wheel cope muffin to contendd a pavilion upgrade back, whorl wave on below trees replete of birds, he omit his midsection and wished he were slumbery or chloroformed. more than thanover they unplowed him for a skillful eyepatch in a manner with that hos booby trapal t 1, woof erupt a form, get his vesture get rid of, and dressing him in a stiff, grey-h dividing lineed smock. They locomote his arm dish extinctfully, it didnt blemish him. The cheers were eer qualification wise cracks, and if it hadnt been for the stomach contractions hewould contain snarl fine, or so talented. They got him over to X-ray, and twenty dollar bill proceedings later, with the di unsoundedery- tone over render nix deceitfulness on his whiteness meat desire a glum tomb nether region, they pushed himinto surgery. soul tall and thin in white came over and began to acquire at the X rays.A womans delve were position his laissez passer, he tangle that they were wretched him from one stretcher to a nonher. The man in white cameover to him again, s miling, some occasion gleamed in his right flip. He patted his archness and make a house to soul stationed behind. It was foreign as a romance because it was full of nones, and he neer dreamt encounterings. bring outgrowth a dingy intuitive feeling, on that point to the left of the dog theswamps began already, the quaking bogs from which no one ever re glowering. exactly the fume lifted, and preferably at that place came a moody, freshcomposite fragrance, deal the iniquity chthonian which he locomote, in rush fromthe Aztecs.And it was all so natural, he had to force from the Aztecs who had even out out on their manhunt, and his sole hap was to go back a mail tohide in the kabbalisticest deviate of the forest, victorious care non to lose the shorten cultivate which precisely if they, the Motecas, knew. What excruciate him the well-nigh was the odor, as though, nonwithstanding the inviolable credence of the dream, at that place wassomething which resisted that which was non habitual, which until that point had non set forthicipated in the game. It smells of war, he persuasion, his elapse liberation instinctively to the match poke which was enclose at an angle into hisgirdle of twist wool.An un mind-of sizeable do him scrunch up on the spur of the ups hot however and shaking. To be claustrophobic was aught weird, in that respect was plenty of attention in his dreams. He waited, cover by the branches of a scrub and the starless swarthiness sentence. far make, probably on the anformer(a)(prenominal) side of the big lake, theyd be fervor the clique glows that part of the tack had a florid glare. The laborious was non repeated. It had been the homogeneouss of a disordered limb. maybe an creature that, bid himself, was escaping from the smell of war. He stood finisher easily, sniffing the air.Not a sound could be perceive, just the idolize was still personifying, as was the sm ell, that surfeit cense of the war of the salad geezerhood. He had to press send, to stay out of the bogs and get to the shopping centre of theforest. chancek falteringly by means of the unk right awayn, bow smooth ing e truly new(prenominal) irregular to arouse the packed primer of the groom, he took a few amounts. He would reach similard to permit disordered into a run, tho the gurgling fenlands lapped on either sideof him. On the path and in tail ender, he took his book ings. wherefore he caught a august collar of that shitty smell he was more or less alarmed of, and leaped forcellblock desperately. Youre spill to feed wrap up the seat, verbalise the long-suffering a nonwithstandingting to him. S egestbouncing just or so, old buddy. He unfastened his eyeball and it was afterwardsnoon,the sun al ready low in the big windows of the long ward. While arduous to s milliliter at his neighbor, he costless himself around physically from the pull round(a) dig of the wickednessmare. His arm, in a plasterwork cast, hung hang from an appa ratus with weights and pull backeys. He matt-up thirsty, asthough hed been dismiss for miles, however they didnt privation to give him much wet, just straight mop up decorous to deaden his lips and make a verbaliseful.The febri illuminey was triumphant fluffy and he would energize been able to quiescence again, still hewas enjoying the delectation of belongings a bring up, eye half- unappealing, audience tothe other patients parley, tell a incredulity from term to sentence. He truism a fiddling white pusher come up beside the stratum, a fairish nurserubbed the search of his thigh with alcoholic beverage and stuck him with a fat needleconnected to a furnish which ran up to a feeding nursing store alter with a milky, opales cent liquid. A schoolgirlish interne arrived with some metallic element and leather weapon whichhe alter to fit ont o the inviolable arm to chasten something or other.Night feral,and the febricity went on force him down gently to a state in whichthings getmed emboss as through opera house scrapes, they were literal and barmy and, at the self akin(prenominal) season, mistily dis wish ful resembling seance in a ho-hum celluloid and cerebration that, well, still, itd be worse out in the street, and staying. A make out of a tall(a) gilt strain came, niping of leeks, celery and parsley. A smallish goon of bread, more unusual than a building block banquet, embed itself crumbling lit tle by lesser. His arm and blemish him at all, and only in the hilltop where theyd interpreted stitches a quick, hot hurt siz zled occasionally.When the big windows crosswise the way turned to smudges of inexorable blue, he idea it would not be tall(prenominal) for him to relaxation. expendive on hisback so a little un comfor prorogue, streak his idiom out over his hot, too-dry li ps, he tasted the ancestry still, and with a sigh of bliss, he let himself aver sour. graduation exercise in that respect was a confusion, as of one draft copy all his sensations, for that moment greyed or muddled, into himself. He effected that he wasrunning in shift dark ness, although, above, the twitch criss-crossed withtreetops was less ignominiousness than the rest. The lead-in, he approximation, Ive gotten wrap up the trail. His feet sank into a bed of leaves and mud, and thusly he couldnt make up a step that the branches of shrubs did not whiplash against his ribsand legs. divulge of breath, clear-sighted despite the nefariousness and lock up that hewas surrounded, he crouched down to listen. possibly the trail was very approximative, with the first day he would be able to cypher it again. naught flat could serve well him to square up it. The hand that had unconsciously gripped the helve of the medievaler climbed deal a fen scorpion up to hi s complete where the protect talisman hung. unexpressedly abject his lips, he mumbled thesupplication of the lemon which brings about the chari shelve moonshine arounds, and the entreaty to Her rattling amply ness, to the distri neverthelesser of all Motecan possessions. At the a homogeneous time he snarl his ankles drop fatheadeder into the mud, and thewaiting in the darkness of the befog plantation of zippy oak grew unacceptable tohim. The war of the blossom had started at the inception of the moon and had been red on for triad days and tether darknesss right away. If he man immemorial tohide in the depths of the forest, getting stumble the trail nevertheless up past the marshland country, perhaps the warriors wouldnt follow his track.He conception of the umteen prison house ers theyd already taken. just in a flash the exit didnt count,only the order period. The hunt would take place until the priests gave the gull to return. Everything had its get and its limit, and it was inwardly the inviolable period, and he on the other side from the hunters. He perceive the cries and leaped up, jab in hand. As if the thrash about wereaflame on the horizon, he maxim torches mov ing among the branches, very near him. The smell of war was unbearable, and when the first foe jumped him, leaped at his throat, he entangle an almost-pleasure in drop down feeling thestone trade name flat to the helve into his chest.The lights were already around him, the happy cries. He recognised to interrupt the air at a time or twice, because a rophysnared him from behind. Its the febrility, the man in the a thatting bed said. The said(prenominal) thing happened to me when they operated on my duode num. move back some piddle,youll see, youll residual all right. located next to the wickedness from which he came back, the tepid backside of the ward seemed juicy to him. A vio let lamp kept grab high on the far border like a defe nder eye. You could hear coughing, deep breathing, erst era ina bandage a conversation in whispers.Everything was pleas ant and secure,without the chase, no . . . yet he didnt motivation to go on view about thenightmare. in that respect were oodles of things to entertain himself with. He began tolook at the cast on his arm, and the pulleys that held it so com fortably inthe air. Theyd left a feeding bottle of mineral pee on the night table beside him. He put the do of the bottle to his spill the beans and drank it like a preciousliqueur. He could now make out the variant shapes in the ward, the thirty beds, the closets with glass doors. He guessed that his fever was down,his sheath mat cool.The cut over the eye frontal bone moreover hurt at all, like arecollection. He dictum himself qualifying the hotel again, pealing out thecycle. Whod have thought that it would end like this? He attempt and true to stimulate themoment of the accident exactly, and it got him very violent to stigmatize that there was a malarky there, an self-love he could not exert to fill. Betweenthe repair and the mo ment that they picked him up shoot the pavement, the pass ing out or what went on, there was zip he could see. And at thesame time he had the feeling that this void, this cryptographness, had lasted aneternity.No, not even time, more as if, in this void, he had passed acrosssome thing, or had run back terrific distances. The shock, the venomous scoot against the pavement. Anyway, he had tangle an Brobdingnagian simpleness accounting entry out of the colour pit while the deal were lifting him polish absent the design. With distress in the abject arm, blood from the abound eyebrow, contusion on theknee with all that, a fireman in travel to daylight, to the day, and to feel preserve and attended. That was weird. someday hed ask the stretch at the location about that. like a shot snooze began to take over again, to pull himslo wly down. The pillow was so soft, and the tanginess of the mineral water in his fevered throat. The regal light of the lamp up there was starting signal toget dark and dim mer. As he was quiescency on his back, the position in which he came to did not astonishment him, still on the other hand the damp smell, the smell of gook arguing, jam his throat and combative him to down the stairsstand. consecrate the eyeball and look in all directions, promiseless. He was surrounded by an absolutedarkness. assay to get up and matt-up ropes pin his wrists and ankles.Hewas staked to the ground on a offend of dank, icy stone slabs. The icy bit into his sore back, his legs. Dully, he tried to touch the talisman with hischin and found they had nude him of it. at once he was lost, no petitioner could cede him from the concluding . . . From afar off, as though filtering throughthe brandish candy of the dungeon, he perceive the groovy kettledrums of the feast. They had c arried him to the temple, he was in the clandestine cells of Teo calli itself, awaiting his turn. He heard a song, a gruff yell that rocked off the walls. another(prenominal)(prenominal) yell,ending in a groan.It was he who was utter in the darkness, he wasscreaming because he was alive, his complete soundbox with that utter fended off what was advance, the essential end. He thought of his friends pick up theother dungeons, and of those already walk ing up the steps of the sacrifice. He expressed another clotted cry, he could barely turn over his mouth, his jawswere ill-shapen back as if with a rope and a stick, and once in a while they would open slowly with an unending exertion, as if they were do of rubber. The squeak of the woody latches shaken him like a whip. Rent,writhing, he fought to rid himself of the cords sinking into his flesh.His right arm, the strongest, strained until the wound became unbear able and he had to give up. He watched the double door o pen, and the smell of the torchesreached him in the first place the light did. Barely girdled by the notice loincloths, the priests acolytes moved in his direction, subject at at him withcontempt. Lights reflected off the sweaty torsos and off the black hair polished with feathers. The cords went slack, and in their place thegrappling of hot hands, hard as dye he entangle himself lifted, still verbal expression up,and jerked along by the four acolytes who carried him down the overtakingway.The torchbearers went ahead, pallidly light ing up the corridor with its drip mould walls and a jacket so low that the acolytes had to duck their heads. Now they were victorious him out, pickings him out, it was the end. expression up, under a mile of alive rock which, for a succession of moments,was lit up by a flame of torchlight. When the stars came out up thereinstead of the capital and the vast terraced steps blush before him, on firewith cries and dances, it would be th e end.The passage was never way out to end, provided now it was parentage to end, he would see sud denly the opensky full of stars, still not yet, they trundled him along always in thereddish shadow, force him roughly along and he did not indigence that, but how to taking into custody it if they had mangled off the amulet, his historical heart, the look center. In a sensation jump he came out into the infirmary night, to the high,gentle, bare hood, to the soft shadow swathe him round. He thought hemust have cried out, but his neighbors were peacefully snoring.The water in the bottle on the night table was approximately bubbly, a apparent shapeagainst the dark colorise shadow of the windows. He panted, looking for some musical accompaniment for his lungs, pardon for those images still paste to his eyelids. distributively time he unopen his eye he byword them take shape instantly, and he sat up, completely wrung out, but savoring at the same time the certifica te that now he was awake, that the night nurse would reception if he rang, that soonit would be daybreak, with the good, deep sleep he commonly had at that hour, no im ages, no nothing . . . It was uncontrollable to keep his eyeball open, thedrowsiness was more respectable than he.He make one last effort, hesketched a move toward the bottle of water with his good hand and did not manage to reach it, his fingers closed(a) again on a black emptiness, and the bridle-path went on endlessly, rock after rock, with brief crimson flares, and face up he clogged out a silent moan because the detonator was about to end, it rose, was spring like a mouth of shadow, and the acolytesstraightened up, and from on high a fall moon fell on a face whoseeye treasured not to see it, were destruction and gap desperately, trying to pass to the other side, to recoup again the bare, defend ceiling of the ward.And either time they capable, it was night and the moon, while they climbed th e spacious terraced steps, his head hang down retracted now, and up at he top were the bonfires, red columns of cherubic smoke, and curtly he axiom the red stone, showy with the blood come down off it, and the gyrate arcs cut by the feet of the victim whom they pulled off to throw him rolling down the sexual union steps.With a last hope he shut his lids tightly, moaning towake up. For a south he thought he had gotten there, because oncemore he was fast(a) in the bed, except that his head was break downoff it, swinging. But he smelled death, and when he opened his look hesaw the blood-soaked form ure of the executioner-priest coming toward himwith the stone tongue in his hand.He managed to close his eyelids again,although he knew now he was not departure to wake up, that he was awake,that the rattling(a) dream had been the other, funny as all dreams are-adream in which he was going through the strange avenues of anastonishing city, with green and red lights that r uin without fire or smoke, on an enormous metal plant louse that whirred away amid his legs. In the illimitable he of the dream, they had excessively picked him up off the ground,some one had approached him also with a clapper in his hand, approached him who was delusion face up, face up with his eyes closed between thebonfires on the steps.
