Wednesday
seemed
profoundly
heavy
,
Czernobog
climbed
up
himself
,
only
using
Shadow
’
s
shoulder
to
steady
himself
,
Nancy
seemed
to
weigh
nothing
at
all
.
Each
of
the
old
men
climbed
out
onto
the
ledge
,
and
then
,
with
a
step
and
a
hop
,
they
walked
out
onto
the
circling
Carousel
platform
.
"
Well
?
"
barked
Wednesday
.
"
Aren
’
t
you
coming
?
"
Shadow
,
not
without
a
certain
amount
of
hesitation
,
and
a
hasty
look
around
for
any
House
on
the
Rock
personnel
who
might
be
watching
,
swung
himself
up
onto
the
ledge
beside
the
World
’
s
Largest
Carousel
.
Shadow
was
puzzled
to
realize
that
he
was
far
more
concerned
with
breaking
the
rules
by
climbing
onto
the
Carousel
than
he
had
been
aiding
and
abetting
this
afternoon
’
s
bank
robbery
.
Each
of
the
old
men
selected
a
mount
.
Wednesday
climbed
onto
a
golden
wolf
.
Czernobog
climbed
onto
an
armored
centaur
,
its
face
hidden
by
a
metal
helmet
.
Nancy
,
chuckling
,
slithered
up
onto
the
back
of
an
enormous
,
leaping
lion
,
captured
by
the
sculptor
mid
-
roar
.
He
patted
the
side
of
the
lion
.
The
Strauss
waltz
carried
them
around
,
majestically
.
Wednesday
was
smiling
,
and
Nancy
was
laughing
delightedly
,
an
old
man
’
s
cackle
,
and
even
the
dour
Czernobog
seemed
to
be
enjoying
himself
.
Shadow
felt
as
if
a
weight
were
suddenly
lifted
from
his
back
:
three
old
men
were
enjoying
themselves
,
riding
the
world
’
s
biggest
carousel
So
what
if
they
did
all
get
thrown
out
of
the
place
?
Wasn
’
t
it
worth
it
,
worth
anything
,
to
say
that
you
had
ridden
on
the
World
’
s
Largest
Carousel
?
Wasn
’
t
it
worth
it
to
have
traveled
on
one
of
those
glorious
monsters
?
Shadow
inspected
a
bulldog
,
and
a
mer
-
creature
,
and
an
elephant
with
a
golden
howdah
,
and
then
he
climbed
on
the
back
of
a
creature
with
an
eagle
’
s
head
and
the
body
of
a
tiger
,
and
held
on
tight
.
The
rhythm
of
the
"
Blue
Danube
"
waltz
rippled
and
rang
and
sang
in
his
head
,
the
lights
of
a
thousand
chandeliers
glinted
and
prismed
,
and
for
a
heartbeat
Shadow
was
a
child
again
,
and
all
it
took
to
make
him
happy
was
to
ride
the
Carousel
:
he
stayed
perfectly
still
,
riding
his
eagle
-
tiger
at
the
center
of
everything
,
and
the
world
revolved
around
him
.
Shadow
heard
himself
laugh
,
over
the
sound
of
the
music
.
He
was
happy
.
It
was
as
if
the
last
thirty
-
six
hours
had
never
happened
,
as
if
the
last
three
years
had
not
happened
,
as
if
his
life
had
evaporated
into
the
daydream
of
a
small
child
,
riding
the
carousel
in
Golden
Gate
Park
in
San
Francisco
,
on
his
first
trip
back
to
the
States
,
a
marathon
journey
by
ship
and
by
car
,
his
mother
standing
there
,
watching
him
proudly
,
and
himself
sucking
his
melting
Popsicle
,
holding
on
tightly
,
hoping
that
the
music
would
never
stop
,
the
carousel
would
never
slow
,
the
ride
would
never
end
.
He
was
going
around
and
around
and
around
again
…
Then
the
lights
went
out
,
and
Shadow
saw
the
gods
.
