It
was
hot
,
hotter
than
the
hinges
of
hell
,
with
the
sun
going
down
like
a
bucket
of
guts
behind
the
clouds
.
There
was
none
of
us
wanted
to
go
,
but
we
had
to
.
Norma
knew
it
before
any
of
us
.
She
got
me
inside
on
some
pretext
or
other
and
said
,
"
Do
n't
you
let
them
dither
around
and
put
this
off
,
Judson
.
You
got
to
get
this
taken
care
of
.
It
's
an
abomination
.
"
Jud
measured
Louis
evenly
with
his
eyes
.
"
That
was
what
she
called
it
,
Louis
.
It
was
her
word
.
Abomination
.
And
she
kind
of
whispers
in
my
ear
,
"
If
anything
happens
,
Jud
,
you
just
run
.
Never
mind
these
others
;
they
'll
have
to
look
out
for
themselves
.
You
remember
me
and
bust
your
hump
right
out
of
there
if
anything
happens
.

We
drove
over
in
Hannibal
Benson
's
car
--
that
son
of
a
bitch
got
all
the
A-coupons
he
wanted
,
I
do
n't
know
how
.
Nobody
said
much
,
but
all
four
of
us
was
smokin
like
chimblies
.
We
was
scared
,
Louis
,
just
as
scared
as
we
could
be
.
But
the
only
one
who
really
said
anything
was
Alan
Purinton
.
He
says
to
George
,
"
Bill
Baterman
has
been
up
to
dickens
in
that
woods
north
of
Route
15
,
and
I
'll
put
my
warrant
to
that
.
"
Nobody
answered
,
but
I
remember
George
noddin
his
head
.
"
Well
,
we
got
there
,
and
Alan
knocked
,
but
nobody
answered
,
so
we
went
around
to
the
back
and
there
the
two
of
them
were
.
Bill
Baterman
was
sitting
there
on
his
back
stoop
with
a
pitcher
of
beer
,
and
Timmy
was
at
the
back
of
the
yard
,
just
staring
up
at
that
red
,
bloody
sun
as
it
went
down
.
His
whole
face
was
orange
with
it
,
like
he
'd
been
flayed
alive
.
And
Bill
...
he
looked
like
the
devil
had
gotten
him
after
his
seven
years
of
highfalutin
.
He
was
floatin
in
his
clothes
,
and
I
judged
he
'd
lost
forty
pounds
.
His
eyes
had
gone
back
in
their
sockets
until
they
were
like
little
animals
in
a
pair
of
caves
...
and
his
mouth
kept
goin
tick-tick-tick
on
the
left
side
.
"
Jud
paused
,
seemed
to
consider
,
and
then
nodded
imperceptibly
.
"
Louis
,
he
looked
damned
.

"
Timmy
looked
around
at
us
and
grinned
.
Just
seeing
him
grin
made
you
want
to
scream
.
Then
he
turned
and
went
back
to
looking
at
the
sun
go
down
.
Bill
says
,
"
I
did
n't
hear
you
boys
knock
,
"
which
was
a
bald-faced
lie
,
of
course
,
since
Alan
laid
on
that
door
loud
enough
to
wake
the
...
to
wake
up
a
deaf
man
.
"
No
one
seemed
like
they
was
going
to
say
anything
,
so
I
says
,
"
Bill
,
I
heard
your
boy
was
killed
over
in
Italy
.
'
"
That
was
a
mistake
,
"
he
says
,
looking
right
at
me
.
