He
died
.
And
kept
walking
.
Slowly
,
agonizingly
slowly
,
it
charged
at
him
,
over
and
over
,
through
the
dark
.
There
was
a
sputter
,
and
a
flare
so
bright
it
hurt
,
making
Richard
squint
and
stagger
.
It
was
the
candle
flame
,
in
its
lemonade
-
bottle
holder
.
He
had
never
known
how
brightly
a
single
candle
could
burn
.
He
held
it
up
,
gasping
and
gulping
and
shaking
with
relief
.
His
heart
was
pounding
and
shuddering
in
his
chest
.
"
We
would
appear
to
have
crossed
successfully
,
"
said
the
leather
woman
.
Richard
’
s
heart
was
pounding
in
his
chest
so
hard
that
,
for
a
few
moments
,
he
was
unable
to
talk
.
He
forced
himself
to
breathe
slowly
,
to
calm
down
.
They
were
in
a
large
anteroom
,
exactly
like
the
one
on
the
other
side
.
In
fact
,
Richard
had
the
strange
feeling
that
it
was
the
same
room
they
had
just
left
.
Yet
the
shadows
were
deeper
,
and
there
were
after
-
images
floating
before
Richard
’
s
eyes
,
like
those
one
saw
after
a
camera
flash
.
"
I
suppose
,
"
Richard
said
,
haltingly
,
"
we
weren
’
t
in
any
real
danger
.
.
.
It
was
like
a
haunted
house
.
A
few
noises
in
the
dark
.
.
.
and
your
imagination
does
the
rest
.
There
wasn
’
t
really
anything
to
be
scared
of
,
was
there
?
"
The
woman
looked
at
him
,
almost
pityingly
;
and
Richard
realized
that
there
was
nobody
holding
his
hand
.
"
Anaesthesia
?
"
From
the
darkness
at
the
crown
of
the
bridge
came
a
gentle
noise
,
like
a
rustle
or
a
sigh
.
A
handful
of
irregular
quartz
beads
pattered
down
the
curve
of
the
bridge
toward
them
.
Richard
picked
one
up
.
It
was
from
the
rat
-
girls
necklace
.
His
mouth
opened
,
but
no
sound
came
out
.
Then
he
found
his
voice
.
"
We
’
d
better
.
We
have
to
go
back
.
She
’
s
.
.
.
"
The
woman
raised
her
flashlight
,
shone
it
across
the
bridge
.
Richard
could
see
all
the
way
across
the
bridge
.
It
was
deserted
.
"
Where
is
she
?
"
he
asked
.
