bradley 's fiddled with the controls and the picture is bigger and clearer and on the slowest setting you can see something flying into the base of the hill , see even more slowly the earth flying up , the spackle bodies being torn , not caring what lives they had , who they loved , what their names are or were- just bodies flying apart- lives ending- we did this to them , we made them attack , we enslaved and killed them , or at least the mayor did- and here we are killing them all over again- simone and mistress coyle are arguing but i 'm really not hearing them- because i also know this .
