Our work is almost complete, he said warningly. Youll die here, Traven. Whatare you looking for among those blocks?” Now, then, the razor continued, think back. Exactly whatwas your wife doing when you entered the kitchen this morning?” Take off your stupid jacket, Marilyn said. What kind of sense does that make? I asked them. You are willing to let me write the story—why not the photographs so that people could believe me?” "And to a public school," said Miss Smice suspiciously. "Do not fob off any fancy private school on us as typical." He stacked the groceries in the corner of the landing, except for the half-thawed pheasant, which he stuffed into his coat pocket, anticipating that his ascent would take him well past his dinner hour. She has no close friend she might have confided in? Monica twitched and quivered. I saw the frightened eyes of the things inside the sphere, and I reacted to it as a predatory animal reacts to the scent of urea in the sweat of a lesser animal. And they had menaced my son with a hideous machine in order to be absolutely secure! If I reasoned at all, it was along this line. The captains face cleared. So. The persuasion is to be of the more subtle type. As always— except when she was otherwise engaged, which she wasnt at present — Elizabeth readily agreed to undertake the new assignment. She was even more enthusiastic in this case because of the subject’s identity. I know Mrs. Wellman by reputation, she said. “An admirable lady, to be working as hard as she does for the rights of women. I’ll do everything in my power to keep her safe.” Both were silent. Finally Dumah said,Yechida, I know you are angry with me. But is it my fault, sister? Did I want to be the Angel of Death? I too am a sinner, exiled from a higher realm, my punishment to be the executioner of souls. Yechida, I have not willed your death, but be comforted. Death is not as dreadful as you imagine. True, the first moments are not easy. But once you have been planted in the womb, the nine months that follow are not painful. You will forget all that you have learned here. Coming out of the womb will be a shock; but childhood is often pleasant. You will begin to study the lore of death, clothed ina fresh, pliant body, and soon will dread the end of your exile. I took a leave of absence from the university; and as the days went by carved more deeply into Lulu. I had now given her a name, after the manner of weather bureaus with hurricanes. Lulu. It seemed a good name for a tanned girl, perhaps a fine mulatto, a girl from the islands, Polynesia— what skin! Luana. Goodbye, Lulu — you are Luana! Aloha — which also means Hello. I couldnt place her in the known world of mushrooms, but that didnt surprise me — and then I left off experimenting, removing my sculpturing tools from Building 28, bringing them home to really go to work. What a figure! It was no trouble at all, she almost carved herself, orange giving way to pale pink-and-gold making flowers in her hair. I swear it was as though she wasthere, although she never spoke— I hadn't gone that far — nor did I speak to her: there are limits. I didn't know whether to leave clothes on her. Or not. But I was never one to go along with that misguided Pope painting diapers on Michelangelo's cupids. I carved her whole and I carved her nude. No abstraction — who wants the portrait of a loved one in abstraction? I'd rather have a photograph. Take my word for it, I'm a good sculptor — the Venus de Milo: that's my sort of thing. Only lighter, more slender, more docile. I knew Luana was docile — perhaps she was Japanese, a sweet Japanese girl lisping syllables I would never understand, little Miss Suke, and that was the day Dr. Mannfried walked in unannounced. Then why all the mystification? Sabina asked. Why not simply shoot Sonderberg and slip away into the night with the loot?” April 20—I feel sick inside. Not sick like for a doctor, but inside my chest it feels empty like getting punched and a heartburn at the same time. Harvey rose out of his chair. "Andy, letme state— " HARRY HARRISON:Portrait of the Artist, F&SF, Nov. Puzzled by this spectacle and dissatisfied with the matter-of-fact explanations of the crowd, my friends and I stepped down from the dunes onto the shingle. Everyone seemed reluctant to approach the giant, but half an hour later two fishermen in wading boots walked out across the sand. As their diminutive figures neared the recumbent body, a sudden hubbub of conversation broke out among the spectators. The two men were completely dwarfed by the giant. Although his heels were partly submerged in the sand, the feet rose to at least twice the fishermens height, and we immediately realized that this drowned leviathan had the mass and dimensions of the largest sperm whale. But he had already kneeled down and was shaking his shoulder. "Lets get him to Alegras and find out what's the matter with him.".
