Lawson woke up and felt drugged and confused. Instead of street traffic noise and barking dogs Ribrmont of dawn, he heard a rush of feet and unsettling orchestration of moans and cries. Curtains not screened or softened candy station jars the sun beat down on his face, and bright blue took the place of their ceiling. "Marlene," candy station jars Lawson said doubtfully. He wondered if one of the children was sick and told himself he had to get up and help.
But when he tried to get up, scraping the back of his hand on the stone set firmly in mortar, candy station jars he found that his bed had become a parapet beside a river flowing through an unfamiliar city. Instead of green Chinese peasant pajamas Marlena bought him for Christmas, he was wearing a khaki waters Air Force and a pair of All-Star shoes worn. Awkward, as if it goes down from there at the funeral home, Lawson leapt away from the wall. His sleep world turned upside down. Outline of confused anarchy began to take shape.
The city - and Lawson was absolutely sure that this is not Lintz'berg and river that way was not the James River - was full of people. Some, terrified expression and posture of the body defends candy station jars itself, padding candy station jars past Lawson Avenue next to the wall. Many were screaming or mumbled while running. Other human forms, dress completely different from each other, lifting themselves bemusedly over cobblestones, or riverside benches, or gutter across the sidewalk. Blurring, candy station jars and rapidly emerging coward, Lawson realized, reflected his own: Like him, people woke up to a nightmare. candy station jars
The city was a stranger. Its architecture was a clash of Gothic and modern style sterile, pseudo-Spanish, a different style on each side of the river. That aside, their dreamy waved palm fronds at precise intervals along the avenue, and toward candy station jars the city's cathedral tower stands a complex and defined its great height almost everything underneath. The sun had shone above the heat rose-colored tower Lawson looks barren, who had never been abroad, Mediterranean ... left a bridge leading to a more modern quarter of the city, where high-rise gathered beige and red brick monuments. candy station jars On both sides of the bridge , buses, taxis and other vehicles were stranded or abandoned on the roads.
Unfamiliar, Lawson reflected, but not something not of this world - he recognized things, saw the traces of culture close to his. For a moment, he let the inanimate of the city, and the languor of palm trees and bushes Hbognbilih her, pushing his line of sight to the human horror show took place on the streets.
Surrey dark woman rushed past him. Lawson waved his arm toward her. When he reminisces about a remnant of foreign language classes in high school, he called " Hablh Espanol?" The woman hurried, crossed the road, crossed it back, crossed it again; Her movements were random, driven, candy station jars it seems, by panic and by the need to do something complex.
The black man, grimacing so that the skin is stretched across his cheekbones, threw himself on the wall like a lizard. Elbows stuck out, his eyes narrowed into slits. He listened intently to the sound which had increased in intensity since Lawson opened his eyes: the city was howling. Yards, apartment, Mrzhim and squares, and blood-curdling candy station jars howl-free harmony rose into bland blue indifference candy station jars of the day. It was composed of many strains. Moor genital area seems determined to separate them and pick out the ones that spoke directly to him. He tilted his head.
The black man looked at Lawson, but showed no hint of recognition in his eyes. As if to dislodge the wailing of the city, he shook his head. Then, still crouched like a lizard on the wall, he began methodically banging candy station jars his head against the stones. Lawson, horrified and helpless, watched him until he had knocked himself unconscious sprayed sickening, repeated, of blood.
But just Lawson View. When he went to see if the man killed himself, river traffic diverted his attention and caused him to shift his eyes from the African. Any bundle floating oily water under the bridge: baby, dressed only in a shirt. The shirt's tie shoelaces trailed behind the child as his legs severed, convulse water spider. Lawson wondered if Spain has all these spiders.
The city was Seville. The river Guadalquivir. candy station jars Lintz'berg and James River, Lawson grew up around him, the son of an itinerant fundamentalist preacher, were several thousand miles and a piece of a huge ocean. You could not get there by swimming, and if you imagined that your loved ones will be waiting for you to come back, probably candy station jars fantasizing about the nature of reality changed. No one was where he or she belonged, and Lawson knew he was lucky even to realize where he was. Most of the dispossessed, displaced people, who inhabited the Seville today did not even know it; All they knew was the unbearable cruelty of their uprooting, pain of separation from husbands, women, children, loved ones, friends. These things, and were fearless.
The bodies of infants watched Guadalquivir. Lawson, candy station jars from the city on a scooter found at the park Jardines de Cristina, know that thousands of adults have been lying dead in the streets and apartment buildings, victims of panic and the hearts of the shaken. Who knew what was going on in the chaos of the morning? Babylon stood up again and with it, as an integral part, comes complete dissolution of all family and social ties. You could not walk down the street without bumping into a child of some exotic ethnic, candy station jars snot-covered face, sobbing loudly or maybe he wanted through a crush of bodies candy station jars carrying out
