‘Thanks.’
Lori put her hand out, in need of steadying. Sheryl grasped it.
‘You’ve seen all you need to, honey,’ she said.
‘Yes …’
‘Let it go.’
‘You know it still doesn’t seem quite real,’ Lori said. ‘Even standing here. Even seeing the place. I can’t quite believe it. How can he be so … irretrievable? There should be some way we could reach, don’t you think, some way to reach and touch them.’
‘Who?’
‘The dead. Otherwise it’s all nonsense, isn’t it? It’s all sadistic nonsense.’ She broke her hold with Sheryl; put her hand to her brow and rubbed it with her fingertips.
‘I’m sorry,’ she said, ‘I’m not making much sense, am I?’
‘Honestly? No.’
Lori proffered an apologetic look.
‘Listen,’ Sheryl said, ‘the old town’s not what it used to be. I think we should get out of here and leave it to fall apart. Whadda you say?’
‘I’d vote for that.’
‘I keep thinking …’ Sheryl stopped.
‘What?’
‘I just don’t like the company very much,’ she said. ‘I don’t mean you,’ she added hurriedly.
‘Who then?’
‘All these dead folk,’ she said.
‘What dead folk?’
‘Over the hill. There’s a bloody cemetery.’
‘Really?’
‘It’s not ideal viewing in your state of mind,’ Sheryl said hurriedly. But she could tell by the expression on Lori’s face she shouldn’t have volunteered the information.
‘You don’t want to see,’ she said. ‘Really you don’t.’
