-1no label
silhouette , already a solid black .
-1no label
dusk was settling over dow's lake and
-1no label
cuffed the sides of his head . then
-1no label
steadily and looked about the room ,
-1no label
he waited . the bus stop was a deserted island on an empty street .
-1no label
walked , or drove , or waited as a person possessed of
-1no label
a single all-exclusive purpose .
-1no label
they followed him to a city bus stop on carling avenue , where
-1no label
the avenue from its many tributary streets . it might have
-1no label
been a normal business-day bustle , except for two anomalies .
-1no label
but not for long , for soon pedestrians and cars flocked upon
-1no label
" ... i will not give in ... " he stared at her
-1no label
melt away into emptiness . his bulging
-1no label
eyes caught the reclining form of heather ,
-1no label
who was still repeating in sing-song :
-1no label
of half words .
-1no label
through him , and his mind seemed to
-1no label
prepared the way for the second stage .
-1no label
first stage in the thetan pattern of conquest ,
-1no label
and these had been his great qualities ,
-1no label
so attractive to her . the base station had
-1no label
reversed progression . it had brought the
-1no label
the empty-minded receptiveness that
-1no label
gone before , discharging its narrow plane of
-1no label
4ementalating energy along the length of
-1no label
the earth's imaginary longitudes , moving
-1no label
shell of flesh and bone , devoid of intellect and
-1no label
then something like a zest for living began to come back
-1no label
to steve and he squeezed her hand . her face took on
-1no label
dan , or rather the physical relic of him - the empty
-1no label
she was growing cold and numb with shock . she had seen
-1no label
enough animation to produce a wan smile . dan's low mut-
-1no label
tering was just audible from the kitchen . and steve
-1no label
could see that as heather recovered her senses and emotions
-1no label
shaken , steve drew a glass of water and went back to
-1no label
for several minutes they had been facing each other across
-1no label
trying to shake-off the last traces of hypnotic after-effects .
-1no label
heather . half an hour later heather and steve were still
-1no label
there was utter imbecility in his blank face . presently the
-1no label
each other through forced association .
-1no label
a low table , like two old convalescents thoroughly bored with
-1no label
muttering started again , and went on and on . stunned and
-1no label
back at them . " heather agreed , and suggested
-1no label
working out . it occurred to steve that this may
-1no label
ting how the thetan machinations had been
-1no label
that they use dan as a specimen demonstra-
-1no label
there is just a hope that we may uncover
-1no label
on her part ; but he thought it a good idea
-1no label
not have been entirely an objective suggestion
-1no label
some weakness , and find a way of fighting
-1no label
and to decide on what seemed to be the best
-1no label
the way . heather was very anxious to visit dan at
-1no label
once ; but steve insisted that they should first discuss
-1no label
their situation , as far as it could be assessed ,
-1no label
the thetans must not see him ! he took another route
-1no label
to heather's and saw two more flying saucers on
-1no label
way of meeting it .
-1no label
take charge , as it were , of the minds of the
-1no label
caped thetan subjugation . this time . but we no
-1no label
longer have any immunity .
-1no label
" the thetans , " he said , " are presumably here to
-1no label
selves in their zeal to get their orders and to carry
-1no label
them out . just what these orders will be , we don't
-1no label
know . now , because of prior hypnosis we have es-
-1no label
people - who are probably falling all over them-
-1no label
after what seemed an undue period of repetition , the voice
-1no label
to keep an appointment with heather .
-1no label
same empty streets as he had the night before ,
-1no label
went on to describe the landing of the thetan colony
-1no label
in sussex , in all its obscene details . then the radio
-1no label
should be . steve got out the car and traversed the
-1no label
breakfast . it was a beautiful day , as firsts-of-june
-1no label
went dead again , and steve had no stomach for
-1no label
communication and of a vague
-1no label
perplexity respecting his surroundings
-1no label
and the purpose he was to serve .
-1no label
at home . steve switched on dan's
-1no label
his whole attitude was a mixture of
-1no label
turned the tuning knob through all the
-1no label
powerful , world-wide radio and systematically
-1no label
impatience pending an awaited
-1no label
heather and steve tried to make themselves
-1no label
faces very disconcerting ; and looking at
-1no label
beginning to find the stereotyped , flattish , happy
-1no label
seats some rows behind him . steve was
-1no label
heather he found a welcome relief in her
-1no label
relatively long doleful one
-1no label
followed the beaming dan aboard , taking
-1no label
after a long wait a bus appeared and they
-1no label
ventured forth and made their way on
-1no label
nor sound of flying saucers . so they
-1no label
foot to dan's house . dan came
-1no label
a new and strange phenomenon .
-1no label
to the door at their ring but neglected
-1no label
was clear . the street was quiet and
-1no label
preoccupied , and it seemed that the
-1no label
ringing of a doorbell was to him
-1no label
so they proceeded to see if the coast
-1no label
to offer any greeting . he was deeply
-1no label
with jaws askew .
