Then

the

wind

came

.

It

was

as

if

the

house

had

taken

off

like

a

747

.

32

It

was

a

high

,

breathless

whistling

,

sometimes

deepening

to

a

bass

roar

before

glissading

up

to

a

whooping

scream

.

33

"

Go

downstairs

,

"

I

told

Steff

,

and

now

I

had

to

shout

to

make

myself

heard

.

Directly

over

the

house

thunder

whacked

mammoth

planks

together

and

Billy

shrank

against

my

leg

.

"

You

come

too

!

"

Steff

yelled

back

.

35

I

nodded

and

made

shooing

gestures

.

I

had

to

pry

Billy

off

my

leg

.

"

Go

with

your

mother

.

I

want

to

get

some

candles

in

case

the

lights

go

off

.

"

36

He

went

with

her

,

and

I

started

opening

cabinets

.

Candles

are

funny

things

,

you

know

.

You

lay

them

by

every

spring

,

knowing

that

a

summer

storm

may

knock

out

the

power

.

And

when

the

time

tomes

,

they

hide

.

37

I

was

pawing

through

the

fourth

cabinet

,

past

the

half-ounce

of

grass

that

Steff

and

I

bought

four

years

ago

and

had

still

not

smoked

much

of

,

past

Billy

's

wind-up

set

of

chattering

teeth

from

the

Auburn

Novelty

Shop

,

past

the

drifts

of

photos

Steffy

kept

forgetting

to

glue

in

our

album

.

I

looked

under

a

Sears

catalogue

and

behind

a

Kewpie

doll

from

Taiwan

that

I

had

won

at

the

Fryeburg

Fair

knocking

over

wooden

milk

bottles

with

tennis

balls

.

I

found

the

candles

behind

the

Kewpie

doll

with

its

glazed

dead

man

's

eyes

.

They

were

still

wrapped

in

their

cellophane

.

As

my

hand

closed

around

them

the

lights

went

out

and

the

only

electricity

was

the

stuff

in

the

sky

.

The

dining

room

was

lit

in

a

series

of

shutter-flashes

that

were

white

and

purple

.

Downstairs

I

heard

Billy

start

to

cry

and

the

low

murmur

of

Steff

soothing

him

.

39

I

had

to

have

one

more

look

at

the

storm

.

40

The

water-cyclone

had

either

passed

us

or

broken

up

when

it

reached

the

shoreline

,

but

I

still

could

n't

see

twenty

yards

out

onto

the

lake

.

The

water

was

in

complete

turmoil

.

I

saw

someone

's

dock-the

Jassers

'

,

maybe-hurry

by

with

its

main

supports

alternately

turned

up

to

the

sky

and

buried

in

the

churning

water

.
