"Ellison-SunkenCathedral" - читать интересную книгу автора (Ellison Harlan)"But here, now, the two of us, father and son together at last, here on Mars, in
Atlantis. We can talk as long as we wish. It's really fortuitous, Dennis. Or do you prefer Denny?" And there, in the sunken cathedral, far away in another sky, beneath a broiling sun, under a crimson ocean, inside a triangle that opened onto misty reaches, father and son walked and talked together. As it had been ordained. As it had never been ordained. By chance. By choice. By design. Happenstance. At last Dennis Lanfear had all the time he would ever need to realize his dearest wish: to share, amazingly, all the aspects of the father he had never known. Never knowing this: that at the final moment of George DeVote Lanfear's he would never see his kid grow up, never know what sort of man he was to become. By chance. By choice. Somewhere in the North Atlantic, a body bobbed face-down in warm waters, but that body might not have once been Dennis Lanfear. Nor was there, for any reason, a howl in the halls of hell, not even in the halls of the gods. |
