He　had　been　putting　it　off；　hoping　that　something　would　happen　to　help　him

avoid　trying　to　call　Tony　again；　that　a　ranger　would　e；　or　a　helicopter；　or

the　rescue　team；　they　always　came　in　time　on　his　TV　programs；　the　people　were

saved。　On　TV　the　rangers　and　the　SWAT　squad　and　the　paramedics　were　a　friendly

white　force　counterbalancing　the　confused　evil　that　he　perceived　in　the　world；

when　people　got　in　trouble　they　were　helped　out　of　it；　they　were　fixed　up。　They

did　not　have　to　help　themselves　out　of　trouble。

（Please？）

There　was　no　answer。

No　answer；　and　if　Tony　came　would　it　be　the　same　nightmare？　The　booming；　the

coarse　and　petulant　voice；　the　blueblack　rug　like　snakes？　Redrum？

But　what　else？

（Please　oh　please）

No　answer。

With　a　trembling　sigh；　he　looked　at　the　clockface。　Cogs　turned　and　meshed　with

other　cogs。　The　balance　wheel　rocked　hypnotically　back　and　forth。　And　if　you

held　your　head　perfectly　still；　you　could　see　the　minute　hand　creeping

inexorably　down　from　XII　to　V。　If　you　held　your　bead　perfectly　still　you　could

see　that　—

The　clockface　was　gone。　In　its　place　was　a　round　black　hole。　It　led　down　into

forever。　It　began　to　swell。　The　clock　was　gone。　The　room　behind　it。　Danny

clockface　all　along。

unnatural　angle；　his　head　thrown　back；　his　eyes　staring　sightlessly　at　the　high

ballroom　ceiling。

Down　and　down　and　down　and　down　to　—

—　the　hallway；　crouched　in　the　hallway；　and　he　had　made　a　wrong　turn；　trying

to　get　back　to　the　stairs　he　had　made　a　wrong　turn　and　now　AND　NOW　—

—　he　saw　he　was　in　the　short　dead…end　corridor　that　led　only　to　the

Presidential　Suite　and　the　booming　sound　was　ing　closer；　the　roque　mallet

whistling　savagely　through　the　air；　the　head　of　it　embedding　itself　into　the

wall；　cutting　the　silk　paper；　letting　out　small　puffs　of　plaster　dust。
