Comentario
It became their motto, and Jonesy couldn't for the life of him remember which of them started
saying it first.
Payback's a bitch
, that was his.
Fuck me Freddy
and half a dozen even more
colorful obscenities originated with Beaver. Henry was the one who taught them to say
What

, it was the kind of Zen shit Henry liked, even when they were kids.
SSDD, though; what about SSDD? Whose brainstorm had that been?
Didn't matter. What mattered was that they believed the first half of it when they were a
quartet and all of it when they were five and then the second half of it when they were a quartet
again.
When it was just the four of them again, the days got darker. There were more fuck-me-
Freddy days. They knew it, but not why. They knew something was wrong with them —
different, at least — but not what. They knew they were caught, but not exactly how. And all this
long before the lights in the sky. Before McCarthy and Becky Shue.
SSDD: Sometimes it's just what you say. And sometimes you believe in nothing but the
darkness. And then how do you go along?
