and every time it hit against him, it reminded him that it was empty, empty, empty.
He slowed to a walk. As far as he could tell, nobody was chasing him.
He could hear voices coming from back by the truck but couldn’t make out the words.
Occasionally he’d hear the revving of the engine, but the truck wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
He headed in what he thought was the direction of Big Thumb. He couldn’t see it through the haze.
Walking helped calm him down and allowed him to think clearly. He doubted he could make it to Big Thumb,
and with no water in his canteen, he didn’t want to risk his life on the hope that he’d find refuge there.
He’d have to return to camp. He knew that. But he was in no hurry.
It would be better to return later, after everyone had a chance to calm down. And as long as he’d come this far, he might as well look for Zero.
He decided he would walk as long as he could, until he was too weak to go any farther, then he’d turn around and go back.
He smiled as he realized that wouldn’t quite work. He would only go halfway—
halfway as far as he thought he could go, so that he’d still have the strength to return.
