@@@@@Jamie edged closer to me as the night wore onI didn't realize that I was combing my fingers
through his hair as I talked until I noticed Jeb staring at my handI folded my arms across my bodyFinally, Jeb yawned a huge yawn that had me and Jamie doing the same?You tell a good story, Wanda,? Jeb said when we were all done stretching?It's what I did? beforeI was a teacher, at the university in San Diego
?A teacher!? Jeb repeated, excited?Well, ain't that amazin'? There's something we could use
around hereMag's girl Sharon does the teaching for the three kids, but there's a lot she can't
help withShe's most comfortable with math and the likeHistory, now ??
?I only taughtour history,? I interruptedWaiting for him to take a breath wasn't going to work,
it seemed?I wouldn't be much help as a teacher hereI don't have any training
?Your history is better than nothingThings we human folks ought to know, seeing as we live
in a more populated universe than we were aware of
?But I wasn't a real teacher,? I told him, desperateDid he honestly think anyone wanted to
hear my voice, let alone listen to my stories? ?I was sort of an honorary professor, almost a guest
lecturerThey only wanted me because? well, because of the story that goes along with my
name
?That's the next one I was going to ask for,? Jeb said complacently?We can talk about your
teaching experience laterNow?why did they call you Wanderer? I've heard a bunch of odd
ones, Dry Water, Fingers in the Sky, Falling Upward?all mixed in, of course, with the Pams and

"We never did finish that argument"Well, what do you want me to admit, that you're a God?"
"You know, if there is a God, Robert, he's just like me
"Uses the common denominator techniques
Now, they could talk talk talkAnd yet for the moment they were quietBetween them at this instant was the uncomfortable awkward realization that they did not like each other at all The conversation wavered back again, passed through a minor discussion, flitted about the campaignAfter a decent interval, Hearn left him and went back to his fly tentBut in the darkness, listening to the stiff starched rustle of the leaves on the coconut trees, Hearn found it difficult to sleepOut around him spread the miles of jungle, the endless spaces of the southern heavens with their unfamiliar stars Something had happened tonight, but already it seemed exaggerated, out of proportionHe did not quite believe what he had heardThe scene was involuted now, something warped by a dreamOnly he found himself laughing quietly on his cot If you searched something long enough, it always turned to d
