We rutted together and welaaaaaaaaaughed at—”“STOP IT!” Jud screamed. He sprang at the tiny, swaying figure in its dirty burial suit, and that waswhen the cat arrowed out of the darkness under the butcher block where it had been crouched. It washissing, its ears laid back along the bullet of its skull, and it tripped Jud up just as neat as you please. Thecleaver flew out of his hand. It skittered across the humped and faded linoleum, blade and handle swiftlychanging places as it whirled. It struck the baseboard with a thin clang and slid under the refrigerator.Jud realized that he had been fooled again, and the only consolation was that it was for the final time.The cat was on his legs, mouth open, eyes blazing, hissing like a teakettle. And then Gage was on him,grinning a happy black grin, eyes moon-shaped, rimmed with red, and his right hand came out frombehind his back, and Jud saw that what he had been holding when he came in was a scalpel from Louis’sblack bag.“Oh m’ dear Jesus,” Jud managed and put his right hand up to block the blow. And here was an opticalillusion; surely his mind had snapped because it appeared that the scalpel was on both sides of his palmat the same time. Then something warm began to drizzle down on his face, and he understood.“I’m gonna fuck with you, old man!” the Gage-thing chortled, blowing its poisoned breath in his face.“I’m gonna fuck with you/I’m gonna fuck with you all want!”Jud flailed and got hold of Gage’s ‘wrist. Skin peeled off like parchment in his hand.The scalpel was yanked out of his hand, leaving a vertical mouth.“All...I...WANT!”The scalpel came down again.And again.And again.59“Try it now, ma’am,” the truck driver said. He was looking into the engine cavity of Rachel’s rented car.file:///E|/Funny%20&%20Weird%20Shit/75%20-%20St...20Books/Stephen%20King%20-%20Pet%20Sematary.htm (308 of 333)7/28/2005 9:21:50 PM
