    @@@@@
    “But what if it were you?” Ian asked in little more than a whisper“What if you were stuffed in
    a human body and let loose on this planet, only to find yourself lost among your own kind?
    What if you were such a good… person that you tried to save the life you'd taken, that you
    almost died trying to get her back to her family? What if you then found yourself surrounded by
    violent aliens who hated you and hurt you and tried to murder you, over andover again?” His
    voice faltered momentarily“What if you just kept doing whatever you could to save and heal
    these people despite that? Wouldn't you deserve a life, too? Wouldn't you have earned that
    much?”
    Jared didn't answerI felt my eyes getting moistDid Ian really think so highly of me? Did he
    really think I'd earned the right to a life here?
    “Point taken?” Ian pressed
    “I–I'll have to think about that one
    “But still –”
    Ian interrupted him with a sigh“Don't get worked upWanda isn't exactly human, despite the
    bodyShe doesn't seem to respond to… physical contact the same way a human would“Is that your theory?”
    “What's funny?”
    “She is quite capable of responding to physical contact,” Jared informed him, his tone suddenly
    sober again“She's human enough for thatOr her body is, anyway
    “Jealous, O'Shea?”
    “Actually… I am Ian's voice was strained“How would you know that?”
    Now Jared hesitated“It was… sort of an experiment
    “Anexperiment? ”
    “It didn't go the way I thought it would I could hear that he was grinning at
    the memory, and I could see, in my head, the little lines fanning out around his eyes
    “Melanie… punched… you?”
    “It sure wasn't WandaYou should have seen her face What? Hey, Ian, easy, man!”
    “Did you think for one moment what that must have done to her?” Ian hissed
    “Mel?”
    “No, you fool, Wanda!”

    float behind Rich's
    There was a leak in the red-and-white striped canopy above it, and
    water was pouring steadily on the giltcrowned head and
    cotton-batting-ermined shoulders of DrHe looked thoroughly
    miserable"And I hope you catch double pneumonia and die," Scarlett
    said under her breathThen she ran to the house for a hot bath
    Scarlett was costumed as the Queen of HeartsShe would have
    preferred
    to be the Queen of Diamonds, with a glittering paste crown and dog
    collar and broochesHowever, then she wouldn't have been able to
    wear
    her pearls, which the jeweller had told her were "fine enough for the
    Queen herself And besides she had found nice big imitation rubies to
    sew all around the low neck of her red velvet gownIt was so good to
    be wearing color! The train of her dress was bordered with white
    fox
    It would be ruined before the Ball was over, but no matter; it looked
    elegant draped over her arm to danceShe had a mysterious red satin
    eye mask that covered her face down to the tip of her nose, and her
    lips were reddened to match itShe felt very daring, and quite
    safe
    Tonight she could dance to her heart's content without anyone
    knowing
    who she was so they could insult herWhat a wonderful idea it was to
    have a masquerade! Even with her mask in place Scarlett was
    nervous
    about entering the ballroom without an escort, but she needn't have
    been
    A large group of masked revellers was entering the lobby when she
    stepped out of her carriage, and she joined them without comment

    DeGives Opera House had been transformed almost beyond
    recognition
    The handsome theater was now truly a convincing King's palaceA
    dance
    floor had been built over the lower half of the auditorium, extending
    the large stage into a mammoth ballroomMeade
    as
    Rex was seated on histhrone, with uniformed attendants on each side,
    including a Royal Cup BearerIn the center of the Dress Circle was
    the biggest orchestra Scarlett had ever seen, and on the floor were
    masses of dancers, watchers, wanderersThere was a tangible feeling
    of heightened gaiety, a recklessness that arose from the anonymity of
    being masked and disguisedAs soon as she entered the room, a man
    in
    Chinese robes and a long pigtail put his silken arm around her waist
    and
    whirled her onto the dance floorHe might be a perfect stranger It
    was dangerous and exciting The tune was a waltz, her partner a

    an animal and I’m a born-again Christian The short trucker swung back the door, nearly shoving
    Panov back into the wall againMo watched as his conspiratorial colleague approached the booth,
    his conspiratorial arms extended as the trucker embraced an old friend and started talking rapidly;
    the woman’s eyes were attentive—she was mesmerizedPanov rushed out of the men’s room,
    through the diner’s entrance and toward the huge red-and-white-striped truckHe crouched
    breathlessly behind the cab, his chest pounding, and waited
    Suddenly, the Bronk’s wife came racing out of the diner, her platinum hair rising grotesquely in
    the air behind her as she ran to her bright red automobileShe climbed inside and in seconds the
    engine roared; she continued north as Mo watched, astonished
    “How are y’doing, buddy—wherever the hell you are?” shouted the short man with no name
    who had not only amazingly stopped a nosebleed but had rescued him from a manic wife whose
    paranoid mood swings were rooted in equal parts of vengeance and guilt
    Stop it, asshole, cried Panov to himself as he raised his voicebuddy!”
    Thirty-five minutes later they reached the outskirts of an unidentified town and the trucker
    stopped in front of a cluster of stores that bordered the highway“You’ll find a phone there, buddy
    “Are you sure?” asked Mo“About the money, I mean

    “Sure I’m sure,” replied the short man behind the wheel“Two hundred dollars is fine—maybe
    even what I earned—but more than that corrupts, don’t it? I been offered fifty times that to haul
    stuff I won’t haul, and you know what I tell ’em?”
    “What do you tell them?”
    “I tell ’em to go piss into the wind with their poisonIt’s gonna flash back and blind ’em
    “You’re a good person,” said Panov, climbing out onto the pavement
    “I got a few things to make up for The door of the cab slammed shut and the huge truck shot
    forward as Mo turned away, looking for a telephone
    “Where the hell are you?” shouted Alexander Conklin in Virginia
    “I don’t know!” answered Panov“If I were a patient, I’d ponderously explain that it was an
    extension of some Freudian dream sequence because it never happens but it happened to meThey
    shot me up, Alex!”

    On New Year's afternoon, I woke from a brief but
    refreshing nap thinking of a certain kind of shell
    - the orangey kind with white specklesI don't
    know if I dreamed about it or not, but I gucci for women wanted
    oneI was ready to start experimenting with
    paints, and I thought one of those orange shells

    I began prospecting southward along the beach,
    accompanied only by my shadow and two or three
    dozen of the tiny birds - Ilse called them peeps -
