Thad an’ Mernie an’ Zenas... everything alive... suckin’ the life out of everything... in that stone... it must a’ come in that stone... pizened the whole place... dun’t know what it wants... that round thing them men from the college dug outen the stone... they smashed it... it was that same colour... jest the same, like the flowers an’ plants... must a’ ben more of ’em... seeds... seeds... they growed... I seen it the fust time this week... must a’ got strong on Zenas... he was a big boy, full o’ life... it beats down your mind an’ then gits ye... burns ye up... in the well water... you was right about that... evil water... Zenas never come back from the well... can’t git away... draws ye... ye know summ’at’s comin’, but ’tain’t no use... I seen it time an’ agin senct Zenas was took... whar’s Nabby, Ammi?... my head’s no good... dun’t know how long senct I fed her... it’ll git her ef we ain’t keerful... jest a colour... her face is gettin’ to hev that colour sometimes towards night... an’ it burns an’ sucks... it come from some place whar things ain’t as they is here... one o’ them professors said so... he was right... look out, Ammi, it’ll do suthin’ more... sucks the life out....”
