噩梦醒来－final Chapter
'As I woke up I heard a 'whoomp' sound, but that might have been my heart, or my stomach 'cos I was sick on the floor next to my bed.'The first couple of times really pissed me off because I was so unprepared, and I hate that, the feeling of being caught out. But the last time it happened I realised that what I was really scared of was knowing that the petrol would burn me until I died, that sooner or later the Zippo would work and I would not be quick enough.'
He stopped talking and spent a few moments deep in thought.
'And then what?' I asked.
'Then I won't wake up,' he turned to face me, 'Because I can't always be fast enough, can I?'
For a moment I felt a surge of some emotion toward him but this was extinguished as his hazel eyes hooded over and a lazy serpent smile spread across his face, masking the brief show of fear.
'Let's do it then,' he said to me.
We got out of the car.
