"The war--" John whispered. His voice was reedy and thin and weary
now, and
there was pain in it. "It still goes on?"
"The war got ... strange," Williams said quietly. "The longer it
lasted, the
stranger it got. New allies, new weapons--" He stared off into the
darkness in
the direction where the fire had danced: there was still an uneasy
shimmer to
the night air on the horizon, not quite a glow. "You were hurt by such
a weapon,
I guess. Something like that, maybe." He nodded toward the
horizon, and
his face hardened. "I don't know. I don't even know what that
was. I
don't understand much that happens in the world anymore.... Maybe it
wasn't even
a weapon that hurt you. Maybe they were experimenting on you
biologically before
you got away. Who knows why? Maybe it was done deliberately--as a
punishment. Or
a reward. Who knows how they think? Maybe it was a side effect of some
device
designed to do something else entirely. Maybe it was an accident; maybe
you just
got too close to something like that when it was doing whatever
it is it
does." Williams was silent for a moment, and then he sighed. "Whatever
happened,
you got to me afterward somehow, and I took care of you. We've been
hiding out
ever since, moving from place to place."
