I
remembered
talking
with
a
writer
friend
who
lived
in
Otisfield
and
supported
his
wife
and
two
kids
by
raising
chickens
and
turning
out
one
paperback
original
a
year-spy
stories
.
We
had
gotten
talking
about
the
bulge
in
popularity
of
books
concerning
themselves
with
the
supernatural
.
Gault
pointed
out
that
in
the
forties
Weird
Tales
had
only
been
able
to
pay
a
pittance
,
and
that
in
the
fifties
it
went
broke
.
When
the
machines
fail
,
he
had
said
(
while
his
wife
candled
eggs
and
roosters
crowed
querulously
outside
)
,
when
the
technologies
fail
,
when
the
conventional
religious
systems
fail
,
people
have
got
to
have
something
.
Even
a
zombie
lurching
through
the
night
can
seem
pretty
cheerful
compared
to
the
existential
comedy/horror
of
the
ozone
layer
dissolving
under
the
combined
assault
of
a
million
fluorocarbon
spray
cans
of
deodorant
.
We
had
been
trapped
here
for
twenty-six
hours
and
we
had
n't
been
able
to
do
diddlyshit
.
Our
one
expedition
outside
had
resulted
in
fifty-seven
percent
losses
.
It
was
n't
so
surprising
that
Mrs.
Carmody
had
turned
into
a
growth
stock
,
maybe
.
"
Has
she
really
got
a
dozen
people
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Well
,
only
eight
,
"
Cornell
said
.
"
But
she
never
shuts
up
!
It
's
like
those
ten-hour
speeches
Castro
used
to
make
.
It
's
a
goddam
filibuster
.
"
Eight
people
.
Not
that
many
,
not
even
enough
to
fill
up
a
jury
box
.
But
I
understood
the
worry
on
their
faces
.
It
was
enough
to
make
them
the
single
largest
political
force
in
the
market
,
especially
now
that
Dan
and
Mike
were
gone
.
The
thought
that
the
biggest
single
group
in
our
closed
system
was
listening
to
her
rant
on
about
the
pits
of
hell
and
the
seven
vials
being
opened
made
me
feel
pretty
damn
claustrophobic
.
"
She
's
started
talking
about
human
sacrifice
again
,
"
Amanda
said
.
"
Bud
Brown
came
over
and
told
her
to
stop
talking
that
drivel
in
his
store
.
And
two
of
the
men
that
are
with
her
-
one
of
them
was
that
man
Myron
LaFleur-told
him
he
was
the
one
who
better
shut
up
because
it
was
still
a
free
country
.
He
would
n't
shut
up
and
there
was
a
...
well
,
a
shoving
match
,
I
guess
you
'd
say
.
"
"
Brown
got
a
bloody
nose
,
"
Cornell
said
.
"
They
mean
business
.
"
I
said
,
"
Surely
not
to
the
point
of
actually
killing
someone
.
