As
the
next
earth
-
spasm
hit
,
Shadow
tried
to
ride
with
it
.
This
time
he
felt
himself
being
pushed
upward
,
the
pressure
of
the
earth
pushing
him
out
,
expelling
him
,
pushing
him
closer
to
the
light
.
And
then
a
moment
for
a
breath
.
The
spasms
took
him
and
rocked
him
,
each
harder
,
each
more
painful
than
the
one
before
it
.
He
rolled
and
writhed
through
the
earth
,
and
now
his
face
was
pushed
against
the
opening
,
a
gap
in
the
rock
scarcely
larger
than
the
span
of
his
hand
,
through
which
a
muted
gray
light
came
,
and
air
,
blessed
air
.
The
pain
,
on
that
last
awful
contraction
,
was
impossible
to
believe
as
he
felt
himself
being
squeezed
,
crushed
and
pushed
through
that
unyielding
rock
gap
,
his
bones
shattering
,
his
flesh
becoming
something
shapeless
and
snakelike
,
and
as
his
mouth
and
ruined
head
cleared
the
hole
he
began
to
scream
,
in
fear
and
pain
.
He
wondered
,
as
he
screamed
,
whether
,
back
in
the
waking
world
,
he
was
also
screaming
—
if
he
were
screaming
in
his
sleep
back
on
the
darkened
bus
.
And
as
that
final
spasm
ended
Shadow
was
on
the
ground
,
his
fingers
clutching
the
red
earth
,
grateful
only
that
the
pain
was
over
and
he
could
breathe
once
more
,
deep
lungfuls
of
warm
,
evening
air
.
He
pulled
himself
into
a
sitting
position
,
wiped
the
earth
from
his
face
with
his
hand
and
looked
up
at
the
sky
.
It
was
twilight
,
a
long
,
purple
twilight
,
and
the
stars
were
coming
out
,
one
by
one
,
stars
so
much
brighter
and
more
vivid
than
any
stars
he
had
ever
seen
or
imagined
.
"
Soon
,
"
said
the
crackling
voice
of
the
flame
,
coming
from
behind
him
,
"
they
will
fall
.
Soon
they
will
fall
and
the
star
people
will
meet
the
earth
people
.
There
will
be
heroes
among
them
,
and
men
who
will
slay
monsters
and
bring
knowledge
,
but
none
of
them
will
be
gods
.
This
is
a
poor
place
for
gods
.
"
A
blast
of
air
,
shocking
in
its
coldness
,
touched
his
face
.
It
was
like
being
doused
in
ice
water
.
He
could
hear
the
driver
’
s
voice
saying
that
they
were
in
Pinewood
,
anyone
who
needs
a
cigarette
or
wants
to
stretch
their
legs
,
we
’
ll
be
stopping
here
for
ten
minutes
then
we
’
ll
be
back
on
the
road
.
