off the main highways and under no conditions to go into the mountains; because
many roads were impassable and all of them were dangerous。 Scores of minor
accidents had been reported; and two serious ones: a party of skiers in a VW
microbus and a family that had been bound for Albuquerque through the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains。 The bined score on both was four dead and five wounded。 〃So
stay off those roads and get into the good music here at KTLK;〃 the jock
concluded cheerily; and then pounded Halloranns misery by playing 〃Seasons
in the Sun。〃 〃We had joy; we had fun; we had — 〃 Terry Jacks gibbered happily; and
Hallorann snapped the radio off viciously; knowing he would have it back on in
five minutes。 No matter how bad it was; it was better than riding alone through
this white madness。
(Admit it。 Dis heah black boy has got at least one long stripe of yaller 。。。
and it runs rant up his ebberlubbin back!)
It wasnt even funny。 He would have backed off before he even cleared Boulder
if it hadnt been for his pulsion that the boy was in terrible trouble。 Even
now a small voice in the back of his skull — more the voice of reason than of
cowardice; he thought — was telling him to hole up in an Estes Park motel for the
night and wait for the plows to at least expose the center stripe again。 That
voice kept reminding him of the jets shaky landing at Stapleton; of that
sinking feeling that it was going to e in nose…first; delivering its
passengers to the gates of hell rather than at Gate 39; Concourse B。 But reason
would not stand against the pulsion。 It had to be today。 The snowstorm was
his own bad luck。 He would have to cope with it。 He was afraid that if he
didnt; he might have something much worse to cope with in his dreams。
The wind gusted again; this time from the northeast; a little English on the
ball if you please; and he was again cut off from the vague shapes of the hills
and even from the embankments on either side of the road。 He was driving through
white null。
And then the high sodium lights of the snowplow loomed out of the soup;
bearing down; and to his horror he saw that instead of being to one side; the
Buicks nose was pointed directly between those headlamps。 The plow was being
none too choosy about keeping its own side of the road; and Hallorann had
allowed the Buick to drift。
The grinding roar of the plows diesel engine intruded over the bellow of the
wind; and then the sound of its airhorn; hard; long; almost deafening。
