Night shift
(C) Stephen King
Scored Infarhznes:
- We can not go any further, Hall said. You should come to
understand it.
Hearing this voice, and seeing that smile,
Hall inadvertently struck outstanding, all the same, holding
the man. Sending a his attachment hose and putting his hand on
Crane, Hall said coldly:
- You should always get acquainted
closer look at these cuties. See how
they want it ...
Composure Warwick sharply gone on
decline. He realized at last that he was doomed.
- Please, Hall, do not! - Crying
as a child, "he pleaded. - Please! ..
- Shut up! Forward! - Snapped Hall, marveling at the
undertaken nowhere cruelty.
- Hall! - Howled in Warwick. - If these
creature claw arm, we never ever
get out of here!
- I know - spokoyho smiling, replied,
Hall. - Go ahead!
- You're crazy, Hall! .. You're just crazy ...
Here at the foot of Warwick and he ran the rat
loud cry from the stress and fear.
Hall smiled again and looked around, finally,
around. Rats were now everywhere around. The next - already
less than a meter away from them. Hall made a sharp movement of
the nozzle and rat recoiled
- Lord! - Moaned Warwick. - Lord ..
Even in the almost impenetrable darkness Hall saw how pale
was his face. No drop of blood.
Warwick suddenly turned sharply and ran
run, but could not make two steps
as Hall, opening the valve heads, knocked him
Foot powerful jet of water. The jet was so strong that it threw
in Warwick the opposite wall and through a split second, he,
with an inhuman scream, completely disappeared from view in the
dark. This it overlaps the long-drawn cry, even the deafening
sound of water escaping from the nozzle. Cry that was truly
horrible:
- HO-O-AL! A-ah-ah-ah!
At this point, Hall saw that one of
huge rats, pigs, who have chosen kakimto
way from his "pen", wildly writhing
and uttering a terrible cry, like a groan from
remarkable for her speed rushed
the voice of Warwick and also disappeared in the darkness
in exactly the direction in which the disappeared
Warwick.
- HALL! For God's sake !!!...
Hear the cries of the dying man was
awful. Even for the Hall. They seemed
palpably filled all the surrounding
space ...
Finally came another, just a horrible sound, and Hall
understood that the rat finally got to Warwick. The sound of
this was ... crunch and crackle of breaking under
teeth of this monster of human bones
- The bones of Warwick. The cries of his immediately became
quieter, and a few moments later subsided
forever ...
Suddenly, Hall saw that the second legless
rat, is also one of the largest, furiously fingering their
forepaws and wriggling all over, is rapidly approaching to him.
The next moment, before he knew it, he already felt
its heavy and flabby carcass to warm themselves -
rat knocked him down. Almost exclusively
instinctively, without having time to think, Hall sent her hose
nozzle right in the belly. Jet with the force threw her
aside, scattered everywhere gut and hang in the air, fine
blood-red mist. Failing consciousness Hall noted, all the same
two things. First, he realized that these blind beast pretty
well oriented in space like bats. Secondly, he noted with
horror that the head jet from the hose has become noticeably
less powerful - the rats, apparently, still peregryzli
somewhere fairly robust way, membrane sleeves. Maybe not even
in one place.
Constantly and intensely looking around, Hall made a few
cautious steps in that direction, which disappeared Warwick.
What seemed his gaze was
quite a shock, even for such a strong and
species in their lives every man,
what was the Hall. The rat was the size of
healthy year-old calf. Her skin was
almost completely devoid of vegetation and had
disgusting dirty pink-gray.
She was completely blind, and her legs, even
front, were extremely undeveloped. Monster
It was, nevertheless, the largest and
the strongest of all. Apparently, this
was a leader of this terrible flight. When Hall
its beam shone his flashlight, it troubled and torn from
devouring the body of Warwick, has issued a disgruntled and
quite disgusting poluston sharply pulling his head in his
direction. Warwick's body seemed close to her body dwarf.
Especially, what's left of it already slightly more than half
...
- Goodbye, Warwick, - whispered Hall, covered with cold
clammy sweat and watching like a rat separates the left hand of
his victim.
Hall turned around and quickly began making their way to the
exit, clearing her way more and more weakening the tap. Some of
the rats could, after all, break and fall on his leg above the
high working boots of thick leather. One of them managed to
climb on the leg up to the thigh and tear a huge tuft
matter before Hall severe blow
knocked her down.
Prior to the release from the dungeon left somewhere
about three-quarters of the way they
unwise to have done, going into this
damn hallway. Paul had a small slope and Hall, she looked
forward tensely and up, tried to determine, at least
about this distance. At that moment, his face suddenly and
severely cut into a giant bat. Wild food She grabbed her head
tightly Hall for its long, webbed feet, wings and
sharp claws dug into his shirt on his
back.
Hall, seeing nothing, several times with
force struck the body become soft attachment
spray. Mouse, huge as a major
cat fell to the ground and Hall began
frantically stomp her feet, vaguely aware at the same time, he
screams like a frightened child to tears. Rats are quite bolder
and, one after another, climbed up his leg. Pressure in hose
almost completely dried up, and throwing useless now mouthpiece
Hall as I could rushed toward the exit, shaking off his run
perfectly to have maddened rats. Some of them had time, after
all, climb up to the abdomen, chest, back. Hall desperately to
unstick them from themselves with pieces of clothing and their
own meat. One of the They even managed to get to his shoulder
and with force push his long and narrow nose
in his right ear.
At this moment in his head with a huge
power hit the second bat, and a second, whipping his wings over
his eyes, flew away, taking with them half scalp from his head.
Hall felt that in the eyes of the dark,
and the body begins to catastrophically quickly become soft. In
the wild ringing of the ears appeared as if it were buzzing
around dozens of bells. He made one more desperate move, trying
to shake off the clinging his rats and fell to his knees. The
last sounds that izdall Hall in soybean life Before he died,
were heart-rending cries mixed with the wild, chilling soul
with laughter.
Five in the morning, Thursday.
- Someone should go down there yet,
- Strongly Broach said.
- Not me! - Whispered Viskonski. -
Not me!
- Not you, not you, potbellied - contemptuously called him
Ippeston.
- Well, let's not lose time, - a voice was heard Brogan. -
Down I go, Ippeston, Dendzherfild and Nedeu. Stevenson,
convergence in the office and bring four new lantern.
Ippeston looked down into the darkness and said thoughtfully:
- Maybe they just stopped
a smoke ... Rats, I see so far just a few.
A few minutes later he returned Stevenson
with lanterns, and soon all four of them quickly
disappeared in sinister black-opening hatch.
