The Book |
This man is at the door of hell… somehow it seems to be his destination after |
a life of subtle stubbornness. |
he doesnt expect to find himself waking up out |
of a dream… he doesnt expect to pi Imself and wake up and that kind of thing… in fact, the thought of that |
happening makes him smile. |
hes just mildly surprised to find himself there at the door of hell. |
To all accounts, the kindly old man who is the doorman (and who conceivably |
reminds him of his father) is sat reading a book… but he gets up smartly and |
without time for either of them to feel |
Theyre standing on ceremony says, «hold my book for a minute, would you, |
while I get the door open!"(presumably, you know, you need two hands to open |
the door.) for some reason the o N doesnt just put his book down on the chair |
It all happens quite quickly… he finds that hes made a decision and is already |
holding the old mans book… as just about anybody else would have, |
but it seems a bit curious because… in howev |
All a way you like to consider it… it is as if hes helping himself enter hell. |
.the path of least resistance. |
of course, at the same time he suddenly thinks. |
even as he finally grips the book. |
Ot;this is my chance for a reprieve… the final test… the straw which will tip |
the good deeds over the bad.» |
Next thing he knows, they have exchanged opinions on the book and he has handed |
it back to the old man and is being shown into hell. |
