In the dream a faceless figure came pacing after Boris. Clad in a groundsuit, it

groped toward him with hands whose fingers writhed like snakes, menacing and

venomous.

No, Boris told the figure, it's not me you want. Those are your hands, not mine.

And then he realized that he was waking up.

He lay in the bottom of a little two-passenger sportboat with a float-cushion

tucked under his head. The boat was pulled into the shore of a tiny river island, and

the light of an alien though very Sol-like sun came dappling down on him through

alien trees, making leaf-shadows of shapes that to Earth-descended eyes were subtly

wrong. The sun reflected from the quiet water to shimmer upward on Brenda's

laughing face and her dark brown hair as she bent over him.

Boris was blond and bony and tall, with innocent blue eyes in a rough face; it

crossed his mind now that Brenda was his opposite in just about every physical

detail. He had met her ten days ago, when he had arrived on the planet, and though

he hadn't been alone with her for any length of time until today, he had been looking

forward to the chance.

Her manner now was one of playful reproach and overlain with just a little

concern. "I don't mind your dozing off," she told him. "But must you have

nightmares?"

"I guess I must. Was I making noises?" He stretched luxuriously, trying to

remember the dream. But already the burden of it was slipping away.

"What were you dreaming about?"

He sighed. The sound was part contentment with this, his waking world, part

something else. "I think it probably had something to do with my last job."

Brenda became more sympathetic. His work impressed her. "Where was that?"

"Oh. Parsecs away from here."
