(Buster; you better get going or theyre going to e back and wonder if you
were doing anything all the while。)
Sure; get going。 Because the snow was ing and he had to get the damn hedges
trimmed。 It was part of the agreement。 Besides; they wouldnt dare
(Who wouldnt? What wouldnt? Dare do what?)
He began to walk back toward the hedge…clipper at the foot of the big kids
slide; and the sound of his feet crunching on the crushed stone seemed
abnormally loud。 Now the flesh on his testicles had begun to creep too; and his
buttocks felt hard and heavy; like stone。
(Jesus; what is this?)
He stopped by the hedge…clipper; but made no move to pick it up。 Yes; there
was something different。 In the topiary。 And it was so simple; so easy to see;
that he just wasnt picking it up。 e on; he scolded himself; you just trimmed
the fucking rabbit; so whats the
(thats it)
His breath stopped in his throat。
The rabbit was down on all fours; cropping grass。 Its belly was against the
ground。 But not ten minutes ago it had been up on its hind legs; of course it
had been; he had trimmed its ears 。。。 and its belly。
His eyes darted to the dog。 When he had e down the path it had been sitting
up; as if begging for a sweet。 Now it was crouched; head tilted; the clipped
wedge of mouth seeming to snarl silently。 And the lions —
(oh no; baby; oh no; uh…uh; no way)
the lions were closer to the path。 The two on his right had subtly changed
positions; had drawn closer together。 The tail of the one on the left now almost
jutted out over the path。 When he had e past them and through the gate; that
lion had been on the right and he was quite sure its tail had been curled around
it。
They were no longer protecting the path; they were blocking it。
Jack put his hand suddenly over his eyes and then took it away。 The picture
didnt change。 A soft sigh; too quiet to be a groan; escaped him。 In his
drinking days he had always been afraid of something like this happening。 But
when you were a heavy drinker you called it the DTs — good old Ray Milland in
Lost Weekend; seeing the bugs ing out of the walls。
