The shovel felt heavy in Stanley's soft, fleshy hands. He

tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged against

the ground and bounced off without making a dent. The

vibrations ran up the shaft of the shovel and into

Stanley's wrists, making his bones rattle ...

At the time, Elya thought nothing of the curse. He was

just a fifteen year old kid, and "eternity" didn't seem

much longer than a week from Tuesday. Besides, he liked

Madame Zeroni and would be glad to carry her up the

mountain. He would have done it right then and there,

but he wasn't yet strong enough.
