That evening, as the wind blew cold from the north, a seventeen-year-old, Ian, was found guilty of not showing enough respect. Ian never bothered anyone. All he wanted to do was look after the puppies and kittens he collected on his walks around the valley. I think he was a bit simple. If you talked to him he answered in nods, a big smile cracking open his childlike face.

The pipe was chained to him and I stood with Curt on the hotel steps to watch.

I didn’t want to see what happened so I let my eyes range up over the hills. In the distance I saw figures moving on a hill top. They were too far away to identify but the way they moved and watched us I knew who they were. The Creosotes were back.

No one else noticed: they were too busy watching Ian Carry The Can.

It was only the sound of the explosion that brought my attention back. For a while I could see nothing.

Then I saw a figure loping up the driveway, shoulders rocking from side to side.

‘Ian’s made it!’ shouted a girl.

He had. Sort of.

One of his arms was missing, along with most of the shoulder. His stomach was ripped open. With his remaining hand he held his intestines in a bunch against his chest. A piece trailed behind him like the skin of a long grey snake.

‘I’m alive. I’m alive… Look, I’m alive,’ he repeated over and over as he loped up the drive towards us. ‘I’m alive, I’m alive.’ One eye shone like white glass through the red mess. ‘I’m alive. Curt, I’m alive!’

He was ten yards from us when the intestines slipped through his fingers to the ground. They tangled around his feet and he fell face down onto the gravel.

Ian lay and cried and bled there for ten minutes while Curt and Jonathan tossed coins to decide who would put the gun to his head and blow his tears away.

Earlier in the day I had made a decision. Now I knew it was the right one.

Later, I went to bed and counted the hours away until I could go down to Del-Coffey’s house and tell them my plan.
