The Dark Tower - image 2


He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.

Therefore, Constant Reader, this final book in the Dark Tower cycle

is dedicated to you.

Long days and pleasant nights.

Not hear When noise was everywhere it tolled Increasing like a bell Names - photo 3

Not hear? When noise was everywhere! it tolled

Increasing like a bell. Names in my ears

Of all the lost adventurers, my peers

How such a one was strong, and such was bold,

And such was fortunate, yet each of old

Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.

There they stood, ranged along the hillsides, met

To view the last of me, a living frame

For one more picture! In a sheet of flame

I saw them and I knew them all. And yet

Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,

And blew. Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.

Robert Browning Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

I was born
Six-gun in my hand,
behind a gun
Ill make my final stand.

Bad Company

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Trent Reznor

Chapter I:
Callahan and the Vampires
One

Pere Don Callahan had once been the Catholic priest of a town, Salems Lot had been its name, that no longer existed on any map. He didnt much care. Concepts such as reality had ceased to matter to him.

This onetime priest now held a heathen object in his hand, a scrimshaw turtle made of ivory. There was a nick in its beak and a scratch in the shape of a question mark on its back, but otherwise it was a beautiful thing.

Beautiful and powerful . He could feel the power in his hand like volts.

How lovely it is, he whispered to the boy who stood with him. Is it the Turtle Maturin? It is, isnt it?

The boy was Jake Chambers, and hed come a long loop in order to return almost to his starting-place here in Manhattan. I dont know, he said. She calls it the skldpadda, and it may help us, but it cant kill the harriers that are waiting for us in there. He nodded toward the Dixie Pig, wondering if he meant Susannah or Mia when he used that all-purpose feminine pronoun she . Once he would have said it didnt matter because the two women were so tightly wound together. Now, however, he thought it did matter, or would soon.

Will you? Jake asked the Pere, meaning Will you stand. Will you fight. Will you kill .

Oh yes, Callahan said calmly. He put the ivory turtle with its wise eyes and scratched back into his breast pocket with the extra shells for the gun he carried, then patted the cunningly made thing once to make sure it rode safely. Ill shoot until the bullets are gone, and if I run out of bullets before they kill me, Ill club them with thethe gun-butt.

The pause was so slight Jake didnt even notice it. But in that pause, the White spoke to Father Callahan. It was a force he knew of old, even in boyhood, although there had been a few years of bad faith along the way, years when his understanding of that elemental force had first grown dim and then become lost completely. But those days were gone, the White was his again, and he told God thankya.
