Think
of
it
,
"
he
said
,
"
as
if
all
of
us
—
a
lot
of
people
,
including
many
you
have
never
met
—
are
in
a
dark
room
.
In
the
center
of
this
room
is
a
bright
spot
of
light
on
the
floor
.
Whoever
steps
into
this
light
,
onto
the
spot
,
is
out
in
the
real
world
and
holds
the
consciousness
.
That
’
s
the
person
other
people
see
and
hear
and
react
to
.
The
rest
of
us
can
go
about
our
regular
interests
,
study
or
sleep
or
talk
or
play
.
But
whoever
is
out
must
be
very
careful
he
or
she
doesn
’
t
reveal
the
existence
of
the
others
.
It
is
a
family
secret
.
"
The
children
understood
.
"
All
right
,
"
said
Arthur
.
"
Allen
,
go
back
to
class
.
"
Allen
took
the
spot
,
picked
up
his
books
and
went
down
.
"
But
where
’
s
Billy
?
"
asked
Christene
.
The
others
listened
to
hear
Arthur
’
s
answer
Arthur
shook
his
head
gravely
,
put
his
finger
to
his
lips
and
whispered
,
"
We
mustn
’
t
wake
him
.
Billy
is
sleeping
.
"
Allen
got
a
job
at
a
flower
shop
in
Lancaster
,
and
things
started
out
fine
.
"
Timothy
,
"
who
loved
flowers
,
did
most
of
the
work
,
though
Adalana
came
out
from
time
to
time
to
do
the
flower
arranging
.
Allen
convinced
the
owner
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
hang
some
of
his
paintings
in
the
window
,
and
if
one
sold
,
he
could
take
a
commission
.
The
idea
of
making
money
from
his
artwork
appealed
to
Tommy
,
and
after
the
first
few
paintings
sold
,
Tommy
worked
harder
than
ever
,
investing
some
of
the
income
to
buy
more
paints
and
brushes
,
He
turned
out
dozens
of
landscapes
,
which
sold
more
quickly
than
Allen
’
s
portraits
or
Danny
’
s
still
lifes
.
One
Friday
evening
in
June
,
after
closing
,
the
owner
,
a
middle
-
aged
man
,
called
Timothy
into
the
back
office
and
made
a
pass
at
him
.
Frightened
,
Timothy
left
the
spot
and
withdrew
into
his
own
world
.
Danny
looked
up
and
saw
what
the
man
was
trying
to
do
.
Remembering
what
had
happened
to
him
on
the
farm
,
Danny
screamed
and
fled
.
When
Tommy
came
to
work
the
following
Monday
,
eager
to
see
if
any
of
his
paintings
would
be
sold
that
day
,
he
discovered
the
store
was
empty
.
The
owner
had
moved
out
,
leaving
no
forwarding
address
,
and
taken
all
the
paintings
with
him
.
"
Goddamned
son
of
a
bitch
,
"
shouted
Tommy
at
the
empty
store
window
.
"
I
’
ll
get
you
,
you
bastard
!
"
He
picked
up
a
rock
,
threw
it
through
the
window
and
felt
better
.
