Authors: Susan Sontag
All he has to do is keep walking. Put one foot in front of the other. Whether Hester is waiting or not.
More rooms. More deaths.
Has Diddy reached his destination?
Dying is overwork.
Again Diddy hears the sound of a train, and faint shouts. A dog barking.
A trim, youngish Negro wearing white jacket and pants wheels a cart to his bed. Reeking of vomit. Who is? Diddy. Diddy the Soiled.
More rooms. Diddy walks on, looking for his death. Diddy has made his final chart; drawn up his last map. Diddy has perceived the inventory of the world.
