INTERLUDE
The
war
had
begun
and
nobody
saw
it
.
The
storm
was
lowering
and
nobody
knew
it
.
Wars
are
being
fought
all
the
time
,
with
the
world
outside
no
more
the
wiser
:
the
war
on
crime
,
the
war
on
poverty
,
the
war
on
drugs
.
This
war
was
smaller
than
those
,
and
huger
,
and
more
selective
,
but
it
was
as
real
as
any
.
A
falling
girder
in
Manhattan
closed
a
street
for
two
days
.
It
killed
two
pedestrians
,
an
Arabic
taxi
-
driver
and
the
taxi
-
driver
’
s
passenger
.
A
trucker
in
Denver
was
found
dead
in
his
home
.
The
murder
instrument
,
a
rubber
-
gripped
claw
-
headed
hammer
,
had
been
left
on
the
floor
beside
his
corpse
.
His
face
was
untouched
,
but
the
back
of
his
head
was
completely
destroyed
,
and
several
words
in
a
foreign
alphabet
were
written
on
the
bathroom
mirror
in
brown
lipstick
.
In
a
postal
sorting
station
in
Phoenix
,
Arizona
,
a
man
went
crazy
,
went
postal
as
they
said
on
the
evening
news
,
and
shot
Terry
"
The
Troll
"
Evensen
,
a
morbidly
obese
,
awkward
man
who
lived
alone
in
a
trailer
.
Several
other
people
in
the
sorting
station
were
fired
on
,
but
only
Evensen
was
killed
.
The
man
who
fired
the
shots
—
first
thought
to
be
a
disgruntled
postal
worker
—
was
not
caught
,
and
was
never
identified
.
"
Frankly
,
"
said
Terry
"
The
Troll
"
Evensen
’
s
supervisor
,
on
the
News
at
Five
,
"
if
anyone
around
here
was
gonna
go
postal
,
we
would
have
figured
it
was
gonna
be
The
Troll
.
Okay
worker
,
but
a
weird
guy
.
I
mean
,
you
never
can
tell
,
huh
?
"
That
interview
was
cut
when
the
segment
was
repeated
,
later
that
evening
.
A
community
of
nine
anchorites
in
Montana
was
found
dead
.
Reporters
speculated
that
it
was
a
mass
suicide
,
but
soon
the
cause
of
death
was
reported
as
carbon
monoxide
poisoning
from
an
elderly
furnace
.
