useless at the thing on my face. I aimed without seeing, and the gun bucked in my hand.
The massive gasoline drum between me and the crane went up with a whoom, and I dove headlong through the
flames. The MuskyтАЩs dying projections tore at my mind as the creature exploded behind me.
My hindbrain screamed Muskies never travel alone! And before I knew what I was doing I tore loose my nose

Foul stenches smashed my sanity, noxious odors wrenched at my reason, I was torn, blasted, overwhelmed in
abominable ordure. I couldnтАЩt stand it, it was unbearable, how had I walked, arrogant and unknowing, though this
stinking hell all day?
And with that I remembered why I had come here, and knew I could not join my brother Izzy in the peaceful,
fragrant dark. I could not let goтАФI had to kill Carlson before I let the blackness claim me.

Excerpt from the Journal of Isham Stone

I hadnтАЩt meant to shoot the cat.
I hadnтАЩt meant to shoot anything, for that matterтАФthe pistol at my hip was strictly defensive armament at the
moment. But my adrenals were on overtime and my peripheral vision was straining to meet itself behind my headтАФ
when something appeared before me with no warning at all my subconscious sentries opted for the Best Defense. I
was down and rolling before I knew IтАЩd fired, through a doorway I hadnтАЩt known was there.
I fetched up with a heart-stopping crash against the foot of a staircase just inside the door. The impact dislodged
something on the first-floor landing; it rolled heavily down the steps and sprawled across me: the upper portion of a
