The Killing Day dawns cold and clear. The army assembles in the square, the mens breath frosty white pillars in the frigid air. The soldiers stamp their feet to drive the numbness from their freezing legs, and slap their arms against armored chests to warm shivering bodies. Cold steel rattles as swords are sheathed and spears are sharpened on whetstones."Men of Jarlsholm," Ragnar shouts. "Too long have we suffered the assaults of the Ghormundr. Too many men have we lost to the savage Beast. Today, we seek our revenge. Today, the Monster will feel the wrath of Jarlsholm, the strength of the Men of the North. Today, the Ghormundr dies! We return with its head on our spears or we return on our shields!"The square reverberates to the lusty shout of twenty voices, the clatter of swords striking shields, and the pounding of spear shafts on the cobbled stone of the marketplace. The sense of imminent victory is strong.Blind Boy appears from the stable, and the celebration suddenly ceases. All eyes are on the slight figure with the enchanted instrument; could this small Boy really serve as their salvation?The Boy hears the shuffling of many feet; the ring of steel on steel; imagines the stares of scores of eyes as they gaze his way. He knows the might of Jarlsholm is arrayed about him. Never in his life have so many depended on his talent. For a moment, he is terrified; he absently plucks a note on the Tablanet. Instantly, a shout erupts from the gathered host, and the deafening celebration begins again."The Ghormundrs death!" shouts Ragnar."The Ghormundrs death!" echo the soldiers.Blind Boy finds himself buoyed by the excitement of the crowd. "The Ghormundrs death!" he yells, joining the chorus, and the mass of men and weapons begins the march to destiny.

It stands between a Latino record store on one side and an adult bookstore on the other. Youve passed it by a thousand times; theres one in every city. The barber pole is broken. No red-white-and-blue spiral identifies this establishment.Few people get their hair cut there. The few who do dont linger long; something about the place bothers them. Its not obvious until you go to another barber shop down the street and notice how much bigger it seems. Then it hits you: there are no mirrors in Guss place. No wall mirrors, no vanity mirrors in the restrooms. Gus has the only one, and its a hand mirror that he holds for the customers. He likes it better that way, and hes sure the customers would too.You cant see Gus in a mirror.Theres a back room at the place, with couches, a few chairs and a TV. It looks a little like a college dorm lounge, with some exceptions. There are no vending machines, no coffeemakers, no snack shelves. Those who congregate there dont eat.For all that, its a comfortable room, as rooms go. It has a kind of homey feel that those whom Gus invites to share its ambience prefer. Its a kind of club, really. Every month they get together to play cards, BS a bit, and talk about life, such as it is. There are no mirrors in the back room as well, but it doesnt matter. You wouldnt be able to see any of them either.Gus calls it "The Belfry," and these are the stories of the bats in it.
