Dunc's Halloween (2011)
“After his mother and father had chewed him out for being gone all night and grounded him until sometime after he started shaving, he’d put iodine on the scratch on his rear end and crawled into bed for a nap.
He climbed out of bed and used the mirror over his dresser to examine the scratch again.
It was gone. Completely. There was an iodine stain there, but no scratch, no other mark of any kind, and even the slight pain was gone.
“What—”
At that precise moment the phone rang.
Dunc had once tried to calm Amos about the phone ringing, tried to use logic to show Amos that it wasn’t really necessary to go totally insane when the phone rang. And Amos had nodded and agreed, and the next time the phone rang he had been gone like a greyhound when a rabbit sped past. He simply couldn’t help it. “I come from a bad gene pool,” he’d told Dunc. “Bad phone genes back there somewhere.”
Phones were located at four strategic points throughout the Binder home. They had started with one in the living ro...om and one in the kitchen.MoreLess
