The
irony
of
it
was
that
she
would
not
have
experienced
that
final
episode
at
all
,
that
extravagance
of
horror
,
one
might
say
,
if
the
fistfight
between
Louis
Creed
and
Mr.
Irwin
Goldman
of
Dearborn
had
taken
place
at
the
morning
visiting
hours
(
10
to
11:30
A.M.
)
instead
of
at
the
afternoon
visiting
hours
(
2
to
3:30
P.M.
)
.
Rachel
had
not
been
in
attendance
at
the
morning
visiting
hours
;
she
simply
had
not
been
able
to
come
.
She
sat
at
home
with
Jud
Crandall
and
Steve
Masterton
.
Louis
had
no
idea
how
he
ever
could
have
gotten
through
the
previous
forty-eight
hours
or
so
without
Jud
and
Steve
.
It
was
well
for
Louis
--
well
for
all
three
of
the
remaining
family
members
--
that
Steve
had
shown
up
as
promptly
as
he
had
,
because
Louis
was
at
least
temporarily
unable
to
make
any
kind
of
decision
,
even
one
so
minor
as
giving
his
wife
a
shot
to
mute
her
deep
grief
.
Louis
had
n't
even
noticed
that
Rachel
had
apparently
meant
to
go
to
the
morning
viewing
in
her
housecoat
,
which
she
had
misbuttoned
.
Her
hair
was
uncombed
,
unwashed
,
tangled
.
Her
eyes
,
blank
brown
orbits
,
bulged
from
sockets
so
sunken
that
they
had
almost
become
the
eyes
of
a
living
skull
.
Her
flesh
was
doughy
.
It
hung
from
her
face
.
She
sat
at
the
breakfast
table
that
morning
,
munching
unbuttered
toast
and
talking
in
disjointed
phrases
that
made
no
sense
at
all
.
At
one
point
she
had
said
abruptly
,
"
About
that
Winnebago
you
want
to
buy
,
Lou
--
"
Louis
had
last
spoken
about
buying
a
Winnebago
in
1981
.
Louis
only
nodded
and
went
on
eating
his
own
breakfast
.
He
was
having
a
bowl
of
Cocoa
Bears
.
Cocoa
Bears
had
been
one
of
Gage
's
favorite
cereals
,
and
this
morning
Louis
wanted
them
.
The
taste
of
them
was
appalling
,
but
he
still
wanted
them
.
He
was
neatly
turned
out
in
his
best
suit
--
not
black
,
he
did
n't
have
a
black
suit
,
but
it
was
at
least
a
deep
charcoal
gray
.
He
had
shaved
,
showered
,
and
combed
his
hair
.
He
looked
fine
,
although
he
was
lost
in
shock
.
Ellie
was
dressed
in
bluejeans
and
a
yellow
blouse
.
She
had
brought
a
picture
to
the
breakfast
table
with
her
.
This
picture
,
an
enlargement
of
a
Polaroid
Rachel
had
taken
with
the
SX-70
Louis
and
the
kids
had
given
her
for
her
last
birthday
,
showed
Gage
,
grinning
from
the
depths
of
his
Sears
ski-parka
,
sitting
on
her
Speedaway
sled
as
Ellie
pulled
him
.
Rachel
had
caught
Ellie
looking
back
over
her
shoulder
and
smiling
at
Gage
.
Gage
was
grinning
back
at
her
.
Ellie
carried
the
picture
,
but
she
did
n't
talk
much
.
Louis
was
unable
to
see
the
condition
of
either
his
wife
or
his
daughter
;
he
ate
his
breakfast
and
his
mind
replayed
the
accident
over
and
over
and
over
,
except
in
this
mind-movie
the
conclusion
was
different
.
In
the
mind-movie
he
was
quicker
,
and
all
that
happened
was
that
Gage
got
a
spanking
for
not
stopping
when
they
yelled
.
It
was
Steve
who
really
saw
how
it
was
going
with
Rachel
and
with
Ellie
as
well
.
He
forbade
Rachel
to
go
to
the
morning
viewing
(
although
"
viewing
"
was
really
a
misnomer
because
of
the
closed
coffin
;
if
it
was
open
,
Louis
thought
,
they
'd
all
run
screaming
from
the
room
,
me
included
)
and
forbade
Ellie
to
go
at
all
.
Rachel
protested
,
Ellie
only
sat
,
silent
and
grave
,
with
the
picture
of
her
and
Gage
in
one
hand
.
It
was
Steve
who
gave
Rachel
the
shot
she
needed
and
who
gave
Ellie
a
teaspoon
of
a
colorless
liquid
to
drink
.
Ellie
usually
whined
and
protested
about
taking
medicine
--
any
kind
of
medicine
--
but
she
drank
this
silently
and
without
a
grimace
.
By
ten
o'clock
that
morning
she
was
asleep
in
her
bed
(
the
picture
of
her
and
Gage
still
held
in
her
hand
)
and
Rachel
was
sitting
in
front
of
the
television
set
,
watching
"
Wheel
of
Fortune
.
"
Her
responses
to
Steve
's
questions
were
slow
.
She
was
stoned
,
but
her
face
had
lost
that
thoughtful
look
of
madness
which
had
so
worried
--
and
frightened
--
the
P.A.
when
he
came
in
that
morning
at
a
quarter
past
eight
.
Jud
,
of
course
,
had
made
all
the
arrangements
.
He
made
them
with
the
same
calm
efficiency
that
he
had
made
them
for
his
wife
three
months
before
.
But
it
was
Steve
Masterton
who
took
Louis
aside
just
before
Louis
left
for
the
funeral
home
.
