CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Stephen parked in the street outside Patrick’s house, walked up to the front door and glanced at Patrick’s car that stood in the driveway. Helen’s car wasn’t there – she was probably at work and didn’t even know that Patrick had quit his job. She’d be in for a surprise and probably a fight about it when she got home that evening.

He knocked on the door thrice, but there was no answer, so he stepped back and when he glanced at the windows he saw Patrick pacing back and forth in front of the attic window as if lost deep in thought.

“Patrick!” He called out, “Patrick!”

Patrick didn’t respond, so he went to the front door again and turned the knob. The door was unlocked and Stephen entered the house that somehow felt cold and murky; the air choked him as he entered. It was the first time he had felt a sense of dread like that when he entered Patrick’s house.

The TV in the lounge to his left was on static and piles of VHS cassettes stood all over; some stacks had fallen over like dominoes as if someone got up in a hurry. Various articles were printed out and pasted up against the wall between the living room and kitchen – some articles were connected with yarn and thumbtacks. Stephen read some of the headlines, but couldn’t make sense of most of it.

He noticed that the word Cern was mentioned in quite a few of the headlines or bylines, but didn’t really see any connection between any of the articles except for the yarn that connected them. The wall seemed like the work of a madman and made him even more worried about Patrick’s state of mind.

“Patrick!”

He called out as he stepped back into the hallway and as he walked past the basement door someone slammed against it from the other side. The door latch rattled as the door swayed with each slam.

“Stephen!” Helen called out, “Let me out!”

He quickly undid the latch and Helen stumbled out of the darkness of the attic. She seemed dehydrated and flustered as if she had been down there a while. She looked relieved and embraced Stephen with trembling arms.

“What happened? Are you alright?”

“He’s gone mad.” Helen exclaimed, “He’s lost his mind all because of Snow White.”

“What do you mean?”

“He believes the whole world is one big conspiracy. He’s obsessed with finding proof.”

“Did he hurt you?”

“No.” Helen affirmed, “I came down here to get a bottle of wine and when I came back he stood in the door and mumbled something about nothing really mattering anymore before locking me in.”

“What?”

“I don’t know. He’s not making any sense and he’s babbling on about the past not being the past. You’ve got to talk to him. I’m afraid he might hurt himself.”

He stepped out in front of her as if shielding her with his body from any dangers that lurked beyond the closed attic door as he glanced up the gloomy attic stairs. The
