The
mist
held
thick
.
Once
I
had
to
stop
,
thinking
that
trees
were
lying
across
the
road
.
Then
the
trees
began
to
move
and
undulate
and
I
understood
they
were
more
tentacles
.
I
stopped
,
and
after
a
while
they
drew
back
.
Once
a
great
green
thing
with
an
iridescent
green
body
and
long
transparent
wings
landed
on
the
hood
.
It
looked
like
a
grossly
misshapen
dragonfly
.
It
hovered
there
for
a
moment
,
then
took
wing
again
and
was
gone
.
Billy
woke
up
about
two
hours
after
we
had
left
Kansas
Road
behind
and
asked
if
we
had
gotten
Mommy
yet
.
I
told
him
I
had
n't
been
able
to
get
down
our
road
because
of
fallen
trees
.
"
Is
she
all
right
,
Dad
?

"
Billy
,
I
do
n't
know
.
But
we
'll
come
back
and
see
.
"
He
did
n't
cry
.
He
dozed
off
again
instead
.
I
would
have
rather
had
his
tears
.
He
was
sleeping
too
damn
Much
and
I
did
n't
like
it
.
I
began
to
get
a
tension
headache
.
It
was
driving
through
the
fog
at
a
steady
five
or
ten
miles
an
hour
that
did
it
,
the
tension
of
knowing
that
anything
might
come
out
of
it
,
anything
at
all
-
a
washout
,
a
landspill
,
or
Ghidra
the
Three-headed
Monster
.
I
think
I
prayed
.
I
prayed
to
God
that
Stephanie
was
alive
and
that
He
would
n't
take
my
adultery
out
on
her
.
I
prayed
to
God
to
let
me
get
Billy
to
safety
because
he
had
been
through
so
much
.

Most
people
had
pulled
to
the
side
of
the
road
when
the
mist
came
,
and
by
noon
we
were
in
North
Windham
.
I
tried
the
River
Road
,
but
about
four
miles
down
,
a
bridge
spanning
a
small
and
noisy
stream
had
fallen
into
the
water
.
I
had
to
reverse
for
nearly
a
mile
before
I
found
a
spot
wide
enough
to
turn
around
.
We
-
,
vent
to
Portland
by
Route
302
after
all
.
When
we
got
there
,
I
drove
the
cutoff
to
the
turnpike
.
The
neat
line
of
tollbooths
guarding
the
access
had
been
turned
into
vacant-eyed
skeletons
of
smashed
Pola-Glas
.
All
of
them
were
empty
.
In
the
sliding
glass
doorway
of
one
was
a
torn
jacket
with
Maine
Turnpike
Authority
patches
on
the
sleeves
.
It
was
drenched
with
tacky
,
drying
blood
.
We
had
not
seen
a
single
living
person
since
leaving
the
Federal
.
