The refrigerator was old but quiet. Mr Rancho Grande would not look around at her. Sandpiper, whose given name was Virginia, had turned an upstairs room of her home into Misery's Parlor.

He opened his mouth, meaning to speak or perhaps scream again, and she stuffed the rag into it before he could do either. His eyes were bulging, his mouth was open, his tongue straight down between his teeth like the pull on a window-shade. Annie had listened to the radio constantly since her long sleep, and the missing state cop, whose name was Duane Kushner, was big news.What do you think of that? Really? "Yes. Strong gusts of wind shook the house, making it creak. "You might as well call yourself a whore.

Next real memory: her fingers pushing something into his mouth at regular intervals, something like Contac capsules, only since there was no water they only sat in his mouth and when they melted there was an incredibly bitter taste that was a little like the taste of aspirin. He believed that God would let him live to perpetuate his poor lost darling's memory for a long, long time. Creativity or the lack of it had no bearing on these things; to do them was as foolish as issuing a proclamation revoking the law of gravity or trying to play table-tennis with a brick. But I suppose other women have — women who were much prettier than I am, and much bolder about their affections, as well.

The woman had cut off his foot with an axe and his thumb with an electric knife, and here she was with a pile of caviar big enough to choke a warthog. Trouble was, the nasty thing had a way of escaping and coming back time after time, in one form or another. That part of his head had quietly gone out to get a pastrami on rye, or something. Saw him melting magically through the bulkhead and reintegrating his corpse's body down here. Came creeping in the night and killed me, hypo or bee-sting, no difference, and so much for the knife under the bed. That deep part of him — the part the dope couldn't reach — tried to warn him to shut his mouth, just shut it, but what was the sense? He wrote until dawn was coming up in the east and then fell into bed and slept for four hours.

Again and again he saw her flying across the room, again and again he saw her bringing her fist down on the remains of his knee with all the force of an angry drunk hammering on an oak bar, again and again he was swallowed in that terrible blue-white nova of pain. Halfway through the cigarette, the room filled with smoke, he had heard her opening the front door. The poor woman had apparently fallen into some sort of deathlike trance, much like the sort those Indian fakirs could voluntarily induce in themselves before allowing themselves to be buried alive or to have needles passed through their flesh.
