Rook: Snowman
“After a few moments Henry Hubbard opened it, looking shocked. Jim pushed past him into his apartment and went straight into the living-room. Jack was there, too, sitting on the couch with a brightly colored woven blanket wrapped round his shoulders. He lifted his head and blinked at Jim in bewilderment.“Mr Rook?”Jim said, “Suzie Wintz is dead.”“Oh, no. I’m so sorry. Oh, God.”“Who’s Suzie Wintz?” asked Henry Hubbard.“A classmate of Jack’s. A young girl of nineteen years old from a broken family ...background with very little chance of ever becoming very much more than a cocktail waitress or somebody’s beaten wife. She drowned today when the college pool froze over. We thought that we could maybe save her but we couldn’t.”“I don’t know what to say,” said Henry Hubbard.“Oh, but that’s not true. You know exactly what to say. You know why that pool froze over, just like you know why that handrail froze up, and the washroom was all iced up. There’s something here and it’s looking for Jack and it freezes everything that feels like Jack or smells like Jack.MoreLess
