There
was
the
Flat-Earth
Society
,
headed
by
Norton
.
They
were
a
vocal
minority
of
about
ten
who
believed
none
of
it
.
Norton
pointed
out
over
and
over
again
that
there
were
only
four
witnesses
to
the
bag-boy
being
carried
off
by
what
he
called
the
Tentacles
from
Planet
X
(
it
was
good
for
a
laugh
the
first
time
,
but
it
wore
thin
quickly
;
Norton
,
in
his
increasing
agitation
,
seemed
not
to
notice
)
.
He
added
that
he
personally
did
not
trust
one
of
the
four
.
He
further
pointed
out
that
fifty
percent
of
the
witnesses
were
now
hopelessly
inebriated
.
That
was
unquestionably
true
.
Jim
and
Myron
LaFleur
,
with
the
entire
beer
cooler
and
wine
rack
at
their
disposal
,
were
abysmally
shitfaced
.
Considering
what
had
happened
to
Norm
,
and
their
part
in
it
,
I
did
n't
blame
them
.
They
would
sober
off
all
too
soon
.
Ollie
continued
to
drink
steadily
,
ignoring
Brown
's
protests
.
After
a
while
Brown
gave
up
,
contenting
himself
with
an
occasional
baleful
threat
about
the
Company
.
He
did
n't
seem
to
realize
that
Federal
Foods
,
Inc.
,
with
its
stores
in
Bridgton
,
North
Windham
,
and
Portland
,
might
not
even
exist
anymore
.
For
all
we
knew
,
the
Eastern
Seaboard
might
no
longer
exist
.
Ollie
drank
steadily
,
but
did
n't
get
drunk
.
He
was
sweating
it
out
as
rapidly
as
he
could
put
it
in
.
At
last
,
as
the
discussion
with
the
Flat-Earthers
was
becoming
acrimonious
,
Ollie
spoke
up
.
"
If
you
do
n't
believe
it
,
Mr.
Norton
,
that
's
fine
.
I
'll
tell
you
what
to
do
.
You
go
on
out
that
front
door
and
walk
around
to
the
back
.
There
's
a
great
big
pile
of
returnable
beer
and
soda
bottles
there
.
Norm
and
Buddy
and
I
put
them
out
this
morning
.
You
bring
back
a
couple
of
those
bottles
so
we
know
you
really
went
back
there
.
You
do
that
and
I
'll
personally
take
my
shirt
off
and
eat
it
.
"
Norton
began
to
bluster
.
Ollie
cut
him
off
in
the
same
soft
,
even
voice
.
"
I
tell
you
,
you
're
not
doing
anything
but
damage
talking
the
way
you
are
.
There
's
people
here
that
want
to
go
home
and
make
sure
their
families
are
okay
.
My
sister
and
her
year-old
daughter
are
at
home
in
Naples
right
now
.
I
'd
like
to
check
on
them
,
sure
.
But
if
people
start
believing
you
and
try
to
go
home
,
what
happened
to
Norm
is
going
to
happen
to
them
.
"
He
did
n't
convince
Norton
,
but
he
convinced
some
of
the
leaners
and
fence
sitters-it
was
n't
what
he
said
so
much
as
it
was
his
eyes
,
his
haunted
eyes
.
I
think
Norton
's
sanity
hinged
on
not
being
convinced
,
or
that
he
thought
it
did
.
But
he
did
n't
take
Ollie
up
on
his
offer
to
bring
back
a
sampling
of
returnables
from
out
back
.
None
of
them
did
.
They
were
n't
ready
to
go
out
,
at
least
not
yet
.
He
and
his
little
group
of
Flat-Earthers
(
reduced
by
one
or
two
now
)
went
as
far
away
from
the
rest
of
us
as
they
could
get
,
over
by
the
prepared-meats
case
one
of
them
kicked
my
sleeping
son
in
the
leg
as
he
went
past
,
waking
him
up
.
I
went
over
,
and
Billy
clung
to
my
neck
.
When
I
tried
to
put
him
down
,
he
clung
tighter
and
said
,
"
Do
n't
do
that
,
Daddy
.
Please
.
"
I
found
a
shopping
cart
and
put
him
in
the
baby
seat
.
He
looked
very
big
in
there
.
It
would
have
been
comical
except
for
his
pale
face
,
the
dark
hair
brushed
across
his
forehead
just
above
his
eyebrows
,
his
woeful
eyes
.
He
probably
had
n't
been
up
in
the
baby
seat
of
the
shopping
cart
for
as
long
as
two
years
.
These
little
things
slide
by
you
,
you
do
n't
realize
at
first
,
and
when
what
has
changed
finally
comes
to
you
,
it
's
always
a
nasty
shock
.
