Someone bent over her, blocking my vision. I kicked him in the side,
sending him sprawling.

 Doctor, let the doctor through! someone shouted.
A lane parted as spectators kicked away overturned chairs. Old Doc
Tyson, ran down the lane. Russell almost slugged him, before he saw
who it was.
Tyson bent over Rita s body. Blood was still pouring from her mouth
and nostrils. She was already turning white.
The doctor took one look and shook his head.  I can t save her. It s in
her heart. She ll never make it to the hospital. Nevertheless, he bent
over her, yanked the knife loose and gathered folds of her blouse to
try to staunch the bleeding.
His words hit me like a sledgehammer. I felt gorge rise in my
stomach. Rita retched and more blood poured out of her mouth. I
looked up in anguish, and saw the glittering green facade of the gate,
no more than two hundred feet away. Suddenly, I knew what we had
to do.
Russell was trembling and looked as if he were about to collapse on
top of Rita. His eyes were darting around, searching for her assailant.
He spotted him, being restrained and cuffed by a pair of policemen.
He uttered a strangled oath. I knew where he would head in the next
second, if I didn t stop him.
 Russell! Help me! I bent and shoved my arms under Rita s legs and
back and lifted her up. Her head rolled forward as I picked her up,
pouring a swath of blood down my chest. I thought I felt her go slack,
but then she retched again and sprayed more of her blood over me.
 Russell! I shouted again.  The gate! We have to get her to the gate.
Help me. I began to run with her in my arms.
Russell came to his senses and moved to take her feet so that we
could hurry. I felt her body go slack.
 She s stopped breathing. Help, her, Russ, help her breathe. I didn t
slow down. Russell tried to breathe for her as I ran, but he couldn t
keep his mouth on hers.
 Please, Rita, don t leave us! Don t leave. Hang on, please, just a few
more seconds. I was babbling like a madman.
I kept running. Even if Rita had stopped breathing, there was still a
chance. Her brain wouldn t die from lack of oxygen for a few minutes.
All I had to do was get her to the gate in time. I felt my heart and lungs

straining with the effort of carrying her body, but I could no more
slow down than a runaway train going down the side of a mountain.
I staggered the last few steps to the gate on sheer will power. I gasped
and stopped, intending to push her limp body into the gate. I was
covered with blood. It had run all down my front and covered my
boots with a sticky red film.
Some of the Gaters had built an attractive little flagstone walk the last
few yards, pointing the way into the entrance side of the gate. I gasped
and tried to hold Rita upright so I could give her a shove. Her upper
body was a dead weight in my arms. I looked frantically for Russell
and saw him sprawled yards away where he had tripped in his hurry.
Donna moved beside me to help.
Just as we were getting Rita in position to give her a shove forward,
my foot slipped on the bloody flagstone. My feet begin to slide out
from under me. Rita pitched forward as I fell against Donna. Rita
disappeared into the gate, and Donna began to fall backward toward
it. Donna reached out a frantic hand, and I grabbed at it to keep her
from falling into the green nothingness behind her.
I caught her hand and yanked hard, spinning her away from the gate.
But the force of my movement hurled me in the other direction.
I fought to regain my balance, but a shimmering green wall was
rushing toward me. I was still falling. I closed my eyes in horror as it
enveloped me.
