‘Now,’ George says in what he hopes is an encouraging tone. ‘We’re going to make a dream-catcher.’

‘No.’ Rory looks really scared. ‘Don’t want one.’

‘Why ever not?’

Rory looks astonished, as if she can’t believe he could be so dim. ‘I don’t want to catch them. I want to send them away.’

The kid has a point. George tries to explain. ‘You make a kind of net and hang it over your bed and the bad dreams get trapped.’

‘Above your head?’ The emphasis on the last word is more like a shriek. ‘Your own head?’

‘To trap them. They’ll be trapped.’

‘No way.’ Rory folds her arms and channels Shirl. ‘It’s sheer madness, George.’

George is too tired to be amused. All that time he’d spent with Bill threading bloody beads and drinking nonalcoholic cider. It’s enough to drive a man to drink. And it does. He goes to the fridge and settles with a can of beer, while Rory sits glowering at the television.
