Yes
,
of
resurrection
to
a
friend
years
later
.
Of
course
,
farther
down
the
line
he
had
tried
to
justify
and
hem
and
haw
,
and
had
spouted
a
lot
of
ominous
,
confused
bullshit
that
could
not
even
rightly
be
called
philosophy
.
How
could
he
refuse
to
take
the
chance
available
to
him
--
this
one
,
unbelievable
chance
--
on
the
basis
of
the
Timmy
Baterman
story
?
One
swallow
did
not
a
summer
make
.
You
're
slanting
all
the
evidence
in
favor
of
the
conclusion
you
want
to
produce
,
his
mind
protested
.
At
least
tell
yourself
the
goddamned
truth
about
the
change
in
Church
.
Even
if
you
want
to
disqualify
the
animals
--
the
mice
and
the
birds
--
what
about
the
way
he
is
?
Muddled
...
that
's
the
best
word
of
all
,
that
sums
it
up
.
The
day
we
were
out
with
the
kite
.
You
remember
how
Gage
was
that
day
?
How
vibrant
and
alive
he
was
,
reacting
to
everything
?
Would
n't
it
be
better
to
remember
him
that
way
?
Do
you
want
to
resurrect
a
zombie
from
a
grade-B
horror
picture
?
Or
even
something
so
prosaic
as
a
retarded
little
boy
?
A
boy
who
eats
with
his
fingers
and
stares
blankly
at
images
on
the
TV
screen
and
who
will
never
learn
to
write
his
own
name
?
What
did
Jud
say
about
his
dog
?
"
It
was
like
washing
a
piece
of
meat

Is
that
what
you
want
?
A
piece
of
breathing
meat
?
And
even
if
you
're
able
to
be
satisfied
with
that
,
how
do
you
explain
the
return
of
your
son
from
the
dead
to
your
wife
?
To
your
daughter
?
To
Steve
Masterton
?
To
the
world
?
What
happens
the
first
time
Missy
Dandridge
pulls
into
the
driveway
and
sees
Gage
riding
his
trike
in
the
yard
?
Ca
n't
you
hear
her
screams
,
Louis
?
Ca
n't
you
see
her
harrowing
her
face
with
her
fingernails
?
What
do
you
say
to
the
reporters
?
What
do
you
say
when
a
film
crew
from
"
Real
People
"
turns
up
on
your
doorstep
,
wanting
to
shoot
film
of
your
resurrected
son
?
Did
any
of
this
really
matter
,
or
was
it
only
the
voice
of
cowardice
?
Did
he
believe
these
things
could
not
be
dealt
with
?
That
Rachel
would
greet
her
dead
son
with
anything
but
tears
of
joy
?
Yes
,
he
supposed
there
was
a
real
possibility
that
Gage
might
return
...
well
...
diminished
.
But
would
that
change
the
quality
of
his
love
?
Parents
loved
children
who
were
born
blind
,
children
born
as
Siamese
twins
,
children
who
were
born
with
their
guts
abysmally
rearranged
.
Parents
pled
for
judicial
mercy
or
executive
clemency
on
behalf
of
children
who
had
grown
up
to
commit
rape
and
murder
and
the
torture
of
the
innocent
.
Did
he
believe
it
would
be
impossible
for
him
to
love
Gage
even
if
Gage
had
to
go
on
wearing
diapers
until
he
was
eight
?
If
he
did
not
master
the
first-grade
primer
until
he
was
twelve
?
If
he
never
mastered
it
at
all
?
Could
he
simply
dismiss
his
son
as
a.

a
sort
of
divine
abortion
,
when
there
was
another
recourse
?
But
,
Louis
,
my
God
,
you
do
n't
live
in
a
vacuum
!
People
will
say
--
He
cut
that
thought
off
with
rude
,
angry
force
.
Of
all
the
things
not
to
consider
now
,
public
notice
was
probably
the
greatest
of
them
.
