the
tawdry
look
of
the
wood
paneling
on
the
wall
made
her
smile
.
it
amused
her
to
no
end
.
the
strange
pictures
taped
and
tacked
and
nailed
to
the
surface
of
it
were
even
more
wondrous
the
bits
and
pieces
of
a
puzzle
that
only
she
could
see
the
car
crash
here
and
the
train
wreck
there
a
severed
head
by
the
side
of
the
road
and
the
photographed
faces
of
the
horrified rubberneckers
who
gathered
at
the
scene
like
flies
on
the
corpse
she
steadied
her
hand
on
the
gun
.
the
door
opened.
