Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read

• Open to a random page.

•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

DIFFERENT SEASONS by Stephen King

I have read a lot of Stephen King and I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks.

 

MY TEASE is for Apt Pupil

(page 131 of  paperback)

“Yes. I saw. We all saw what happened to those unwilling or unable to run before the wind and wait for the  storm to end. What we did then was the right thing. For that time and that place, it was the right thing. I would do it again. But…”

“…but I don’t wish to speak of it, or even think of it. What we did was motivated only by survival, and nothing about survival is pretty. I had dreams…” He slowly took a cigarette from the box on the TV. “Yes. For hears I had them. Blackness, and sounds in the blackness. Tractor engines. Bulldozer engines. Gun butts thudding against what might have been frozen earth, or human skulls. Whistles, sirens, pistol shots, screams. The doors of cattle cars rumbling open on cold winter afternoons.”
