Don
’
t
be
a
fool
,
"
she
said
irritably
.
"
Come
and
look
at
that
light
.
"
A
light
there
certainly
was
.
Looking
out
of
her
window
toward
what
I
judged
to
he
the
northeast
,
I
could
see
a
bright
beam
like
that
of
a
searchlight
pointed
unwaveringly
upward
.
"
That
must
mean
there
’
s
somebody
else
there
who
can
see
,
"
she
said
.
"
It
must
,
"
I
agreed
.
I
tried
to
locate
the
source
of
it
,
but
in
the
surrounding
darkness
I
was
unable
to
decide
.
No
great
distance
away
,
I
was
sure
,
and
seeming
to
start
in
mid
-
air
—
which
probably
meant
that
it
was
mounted
on
a
high
building
.
I
hesitated
.
"
Better
leave
it
till
tomorrow
,
"
I
decided
.
The
idea
of
trying
to
find
our
way
to
it
through
the
dark
streets
was
far
from
attractive
.
And
it
was
just
possible
—
highly
unlikely
,
but
just
possible
—
that
it
was
a
trap
.
Even
a
blind
man
who
was
clever
,
and
desperate
enough
,
might
be
able
to
wire
such
a
thing
up
by
touch
.
I
found
a
nail
file
and
squatted
down
with
my
eye
on
the
level
of
the
window
sill
.
With
the
point
at
the
file
I
drew
a
careful
line
in
the
paint
,
marking
the
exact
direction
of
the
beam
’
s
source
.
Then
I
went
back
to
my
room
.
I
lay
awake
for
an
hour
or
more
.
Night
magnified
the
quiet
of
the
city
,
making
the
sounds
which
broke
it
the
more
desolate
.
From
time
to
time
voices
rose
from
the
street
,
sharp
and
brittle
with
hysteria
.
Once
there
was
a
freezing
scream
which
seemed
to
revel
horribly
in
its
release
from
sanity
.
Somewhere
nor
tar
away
there
was
a
sobbing
that
went
on
endlessly
,
hopelessly
.
Twice
I
heard
the
sharp
reports
of
single
pistol
shots
I
gave
heartfelt
thanks
to
whatever
it
was
that
had
brought
Josella
and
me
together
for
companionship
.
Complete
loneliness
was
the
worst
stare
I
could
imagine
just
then
.
Alone
,
one
would
be
nothing
.
Company
meant
purpose
,
and
purpose
helped
to
keep
the
morbid
fears
at
bay
.
