AUTHOR’S NOTE

What follows is a work of fiction. All of the major characters are made up.

Because it plays against the historical backdrop of the last decade, the reader

may recognize certain actual figures who played their parts in the 1970s. It

is my hope that none of these figures has been misrepresented. There is no

third congressional district in New Hampshire and no town of Castle Rock

in Maine. Chuck Chatsworth’s reading lesson is drawn from Fire Brain, by

Max Brand, originally published by Dodd, Mead, and Company, Inc.

The Dead Zone

PROLOGUE

By the time he graduated from college, John Smith had forgotten all about

the bad fall he took on the ice that January day in 1953. In fact, he would

have been hard put to remember it by the time he graduated from grammar

school. And his mother and father never knew about it at all.

They were skating on a cleared patch of Runaround Pond in Durham. The

bigger boys were playing hockey with old taped sticks and using a couple of

potato baskets for goals. The little kids were just farting around the way little

kids have done since time immemorial - their ankles bowing comically in

and out, their breath puffing in the frosty twenty-degree air. At one corner of

the cleared ice two rubber tires burned sootily, and a few parents sat nearby,

watching their children. The age of the snowmobile was still distant and

winter fun still consisted of exercising your body rather than a gasoline

engine.

Johnny had walked down from his house, just over the Pownal line, with his

skates hung over his shoulder. At six, he was a pretty fair skater. Not good

enough to join in the big kids' hockey games yet, but able to skate rings

around most of the other first graders, who were always pinwheeling their

arms for balance or sprawling on their butts.

Now he skated slowly around the outer edge of the clear patch, wishing he

could go backward like Timmy Benedix, listening to the ice thud and crackle

mysteriously under the snow cover farther out, also listening to the shouts of

the hockey players, the rumble of a pulp truck crossing the bridge on its way

to U.S. Gypsum in Lisbon Falls, the murmur of conversation from the

adults. He was very glad to be alive on that cold, fair winter day. Nothing

was wrong with him, nothing troubled his mind, he wanted nothing ... except

to be able to skate backward, like Timmy Benedix.

He skated past the fire and saw that two or three of the grown-ups were

passing around a bottle of booze.

'Gimme some of that!' he shouted to Chuck Spier. who was bundled up in a

big lumberjack shirt and green flannel snowpants.

Chuck grinned at him. 'Get outta here, kid. I hear your mother callin you.'
