@@@@@Overhead they had anchored a ridgepole of bamboo on two uprights, had draped their combined ponchos over it, and staked the ends to the ground on each side of the holeIt was possible to kneel inside the tent without bumping one's head against the ridgepole, but not even an eight-year-old child could have stood in itFrom outside, the shelter appeared to be no more than two feet above the level of the groundThis tent was typical of almost all the pup tents in the bivouac Red lay down between them, and stared out at the obtuse triangle of sky and jungle visible from the head of the tentThey had dug the hole to fit their bodies, and Red's long legs dangled over the rain trench at the entranceWhen the rain blew in the open end, it collected in the trench, which was lower than any other part of the holeNow it was still muddy "Next time you men dig a tent right, so a guy can get in it," Red said "If you men don' like it, get the hell out," Gallagher grumbled

and there were faint bruise-like shadows under her eyes, because the

@@@@@"Earliest to most recent
He indicated the last four paintings - the ones
I'd come to think of as my sunset-compositesTo
one I'd added a nautilus shell, to one a compact
disc with the word Memorex printed across it (and
the sun shining redly through the hole), to the
third a dead seagull I'd found on the beach, only
blown up to pterodactyl sizeThe last was of the
shell-bed beneath Big Pink, done from a digital
photographTo this I had for some reason felt the
