For Joan Huston,
who championed this book way back when, and assured me it stood the test of time.
And, as always, for Randy.
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, âCome.â I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
âRevelation 6:7â8
Taylor picked up her portable phone for the tenth time in ten minutes. She hit Redial, heard the call connect and start ringing, then clicked the Off button and returned the phone to her lap. Once she made this call, there was no going back. Being right wouldnât make her the golden girl. If she were wrongâwell, she didnât want to think about what could happen. Losing her job would be the least of her worries.
Damned if she did. Damned if she didnât.
She set the phone on the pool table and went down the stairs of her small two-story cabin. In the kitchen, she opened the door to the refrigerator and pulled out a Diet Coke. She laughed to herself. As if more caffeine would give her the courage to make the call. She should try a shot of whiskey. That always worked in the movies.
She snapped open the tab and stood staring out of her kitchen window. It had been dark for hoursâthe moon gone and the inky blackness outside her window impenetrableâbut in an hour the skies would lighten. She would have to make a decision by then.
She turned away from the window and heard a loud crack. The lights went out. She jumped a mile, then giggled nervously, a hand to her chest to stop the sudden pounding. Silly girl, she thought. The lights go out all the time. There was a Nashville Electric Service crew on the corner when you drove in earlier; they must have messed up the line and a power surge caused the lights to blow. It happens every time NES works on the lines. Now stop it. Youâre a grown woman. Youâre not afraid of the dark.
