OMG. I am going gto type the aprt of my book that I think is... well... kool. [The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon By Stephen King]
OK, Trisha (the main character) is lost in the woods and there's a "special" thing following her. Page: 127 She told herself not to expect much, but five minutes after the possibility first occurred to her, Trisha was sure. That was no mere hummock up ahead; that was Fiddlehead Island! Except maybe, she thought as she drew closer, wading slowly through water that was now thigh-deep, Bug Island would be a better name. There were lots of bugsw out here, of course, but she kept replenishing her mudpack (she kept mud on her face, arms, and neck so the bugs didn't bite her) and had pretty much forgotten about them until now. The air over Fiddlehead Island absolutely shimmered with them, and not just minges and noseeums. There were a gazillion flies as well. As she drew closer she could hear their somnolent, somehoq shiny buzz. She was still half dozen steps away from the first bunchesof plump furled greens when she stopped, hardly aware of her feet settling into the muddy mulch under the water. The greenery bordering this side of the tussock was shredded and torn; herer and there soggy uprooted bunches of fiddleheads still floated on the black water. Further up she could see bright red splashes on the green. "I don't like this," she murmered, and when she next moved it was to her left instead of straightahead. Fiddleheads were fine, but there was something dead or badly wounded up there. Maybe the beavers fought with each other for mates or something. She wasn't hungry enough (fiddleheads can be eaten and are supposed to be really good) to dare meeting a wounded beaver while gathering an early supper. That would be a good way to lose a hand or an eye. Halfway around Fiddlehead Island, Trisha stopped again. She didn't want to look, but at first she couldn't look away. "Hey Tom," she said in a high trembling voice (She pretended to have Tom Gordon with her so she wouldn't feel alone) "Oh hey, bad." It was a small head of a severed dear. It had rolled down the slope of the tussock, leaving a trail of blood and matted fiddlehead ferns behind. It now lay upside down at the waters edge. Its eyes shimmered with nits. Regiments of flies had alit on the ragged stump of its neck. They hummed like a small motor. "I see its tognue," she said, and her voice was far away, down an echoing hallway. OMG. Then she found the rest of the deer, and that's where I am at right now. She's freaking out right now and I'm loving it. The book isn't scary yet, but it's good. |
