As he watched, they began to sag tiredly outward in four different directions. The animal's legs were still there, mired in the mud like shake-poles. Again it struck the other bank, this time vaporizing one of Wolf's cattle. The wet, sizzling zap of electricity again, seeming almost to part his hair. He was coughing and staggering, seemingly no longer aware of where he was. Wolf struggled up again, his hair plastered against his face, his dazed eyes peering through a curtain of it like the eyes of an English sheepdog. It had been tied at the nape of his neck, Jack saw, but most of it had come loose.īut he struggled on toward Wolf, pushing a dying, weakly convulsing cow-sheep out of his way to get there. The hair of Sloat's Twinner was long, black, flapping, somehow dead-looking. His hair renewed itself, growing forward, first tinting the rondure of his skull, as if some invisible being were coloring Uncle Morgan's head, then covering it.
As he came he did his own werewolf number, changing from Morgan Sloat, investor, land speculator, and sometime Hollywood agent, into Morgan of Orris, pretender to the throne of a dying Queen. Jack stood, paralyzed, as Sloat bulled his way through the hole between the two universes. 'Wolf' Jack screamed, but thunder exploded across the blue sky again, drowning him out. He could feel the force of that command, gripping his face with invisible hands, trying to turn it. He stood at midstream in water that was crotch-deep, cattle passing on either side of him, baa-ing and bleating, staring at that window which had been torn in the very fabric of reality, his eyes wide, his mouth wider. The parka wavered, disappeared for a moment, then came back as a cloak and hood. That's it, he's gone, must be, let him go, get out of here. Sorry, but I've got to see if I can avoid getting drowned by Wolf's herd before I see if I can avoid getting fried by your doomstick there.
