“Douglas looked off at the twilight sky. "Frozen statues, every single one of you, the next three minutes!" said John. Douglas felt john walking around him even as he had walked around John a moment ago. He felt John sock him on the arm once, not too hard. "So long," he said. Then there was a rushing sound and he knew without looking that there was nobody behind him now. Far away, a train whistle sounded..... ... And then he felt himself walking across the lawns among all the other statues now, and whether they, too, were coming to life he did not know. They did not seem to be moving at all. For that matter he himself was only moving from the knees down. The rest of him was cold stone, and very heavy. Going up the front porch of his house, he turned suddenly to look at the lawns behind him. The lawns were empty. A series of rifle shots. Screen doors banged one after the other, a sunset volley, along the street.”
