“I got to stop and rest,” he said after a while. Stanley looked at Big Thumb.
It still didn't look any closer. He was afraid if Zero stopped, he might never get started again.
“We're almost there,” he said. He wondered which was closer: Camp Green Lake or Big Thumb?
“I really have to sit down.” “Just see if you can go a little—”
Zero collapsed. The shovel stayed up a fraction of a second longer,
perfectly balanced on the tip of the blade, then it fell next to him.
Zero knelt, bent over with his head on the ground. Stanley could hear a very low moaning sound coming from him.
He looked at the shovel and couldn't help but think that he might need it to dig a grave.
Zero's last hole. And who will dig a grave for me? he thought.
But Zero did get up, once again flashing thumbs-up. “Give me some words,” he said weakly.
It took Stanley a few seconds to realize what he meant. Then he smiled and said, “R-u-n.”
Zero sounded it out to himself. “Rr-un, run. Run.” “Good. F-u-n.” “Fffun.”
