The
concept
of
a
variable
Reality
,
a
Reality
that
was
not
fixed
and
eternal
and
immutable
was
not
one
that
could
be
faced
casually
by
anyone
.
In
the
dead
of
the
sleep
period
,
sometimes
,
Harlan
would
remember
the
early
days
of
his
Cubhood
and
recall
the
wrenching
attempts
to
divorce
himself
from
his
Century
and
from
Time
.
It
took
six
months
for
the
average
Cub
to
learn
all
the
truth
,
to
discover
that
he
could
never
go
home
again
in
a
very
literal
way
.
It
wasn
’
t
Eternity
’
s
law
,
alone
,
that
stopped
him
,
but
the
frigid
fact
that
home
as
he
knew
it
might
very
well
no
longer
exist
,
might
,
in
a
sense
,
never
have
existed
.
It
affected
Cubs
differently
.
Harlan
remembered
Bonky
Latourette
’
s
face
turning
white
and
gaunt
the
day
Instructor
Yarrow
had
finally
made
it
unmistakably
clear
about
Reality
.
None
of
the
Cubs
ate
that
night
.
They
huddled
together
in
search
of
a
kind
of
psychic
warmth
,
all
except
Latourette
,
who
had
disappeared
.
There
was
a
lot
of
false
laughter
and
miserably
poor
joking
.
Someone
said
with
a
voice
that
was
tremulous
and
uncertain
,
"
I
suppose
I
never
had
a
mother
.
If
I
go
back
into
the
95th
,
they
’
d
say
:
’
Who
are
you
?
We
don
’
t
know
you
.
We
don
’
t
have
any
records
of
you
.
You
don
’
t
exist
.
’
"
They
smiled
weakly
and
nodded
their
heads
,
lonely
boys
with
nothing
left
but
Eternity
.
They
found
Latourette
at
bedtime
,
sleeping
deeply
and
breathing
shallowly
.
There
was
the
slight
reddening
of
a
spray
injection
in
the
hollow
of
his
left
elbow
and
fortunately
that
was
noted
too
.
Yarrow
was
called
and
for
a
while
it
looked
as
though
one
Cub
would
be
out
of
the
course
,
but
he
was
brought
around
eventually
.
A
week
later
he
was
back
in
his
seat
.
Yet
the
mark
of
that
evil
night
was
on
his
personality
for
as
long
as
Harlan
knew
him
thereafter
.
And
now
Harlan
had
to
explain
Reality
to
Noys
Lambent
,
a
girl
not
much
older
than
those
Cubs
,
and
explain
it
at
once
and
in
full
.
He
had
to
.
There
was
no
choice
about
that
.
She
must
learn
exactly
what
faced
them
and
exactly
what
she
would
have
to
do
.
