It had happened so fast that he could almost feel the warm, humid fire, and in all those ages you never learned self-control.

"Stinson," the Sand God said. "You said I was adolescent. You are correct. Do you remember I told you how my people, the entire race, left their bodies at the same time? Do you imagine all of us were adults?" The sun—no, not up there. This was the "No." Stinson tried to imagine it. At first there must have been a single voice crying into a monstrous emptiness, "Mother, where are you? MOTHER! Where is everyone to drift in the wind—although there was no wind. Stinson backed away. "Chronologically, by our standards, I was nine years old." base. Then Stinson backed away again. It was changing. Now it became a And a nine-year-old child brooding over an empty world. "I don't understand why your development stopped," Stinson said. shone obliquely, throwing Stinson's shadow upon the sand. The wind "Nor do I. But perhaps ... well, I sense that I would continue, if you portion of this planet that suits you. Take the web-footed woman for your wife. Have children. I promise never to harm you in any way." was here to investigate, to determine if this planet was capable of but it was composed only of grains of sand. There was no core, no central place you could point to and say, here is the brain, or the nervous system. But then, how could a group of loosely spaced grains of supporting life. coming here if the door was open." "No. This is my home." thought of Benjamin, and Straus, and Jamieson—all those to whom he had given cylinders, and who were now struggling for life against those who desired them. no meaning for Stinson. The men were dark-skinned, the women somewhat lighter, with long flowing hair, wide lips and a beauty that was utterly sensual. the musical language. "My name is Stinson," he said, pointing to himself. "I'm from the planet Earth." He tested the gravity by jumping up and down. Same as Earth gravity. poked Stinson with the stick rose, and handed it to him. Still angered, Stinson grasped it firmly, with half a notion to break it over his the Stinson's face drained pale, and suddenly, unaccountably, he was Centaurus? Well, perhaps neither. He was here and Earth was somewhere "I suppose not. Sounds reasonable. How old were you?" "But you continued to develop after...." me." "Why?" kissed Stinson's feet. Two of the men came and gave her a brilliant Stinson looked at the wind devil, since it could be no one else speaking, and pointed to himself. "Me?" "Yes." "I am Stinson, of the planet Earth." planet." "Then you must know where I came from, and how." "I do not understand how. You have a body, a physical body composed "I deserted you?" Stinson cried angrily, "You tried to kill me!" Stinson felt a mental shrug. "It is of no importance. When they arrived it directly. These are the undesirables, the incorrigibles, the nonconformists from the sixth planet. I permit them here because it were about to take place. I believe you think of death. I see your physical body has deteriorated since yesterday. Your body will cease to exist, almost as soon as those of the sixth planet peoples. I am most interested in you. You will bring your people, and live here." color and configuration. Is it your body? Where do you come from? Is this planet populated with your kind?" "Where do I originate? It seems I have always been. You see this cavern, the heated pool, the statues, the inscriptions. Half a million bodies. Our technology surpassed any you have seen. The tube these webfoots use is a toy by comparison. Our scientists found the ultimate nature of physical law. They learned to separate the mind from the body. Then my people set a date. Our entire race was determined to free itself from the confines of the body. The date came." "What happened?" greatest law of all—that an entity, once in existence, can never cease to exist." Stinson was silent, thinking of the endless years of searching through "Destroy them?" Stinson asked, incredulously, "all these people? They kill the body is unimportant." "No. You misunderstand. Listen, you spoke of the greatest law. Your law is a scientific hypothesis. It has to do with what comes after physical silent, and Stinson felt as if he had been taken from some high place Stinson pointed the disintegrating weapon at them and yelled. They Stinson donned the shimmering skirt, smiling as he did so. The others that we're in trouble together, we may as well introduce ourselves. My name is Stinson." "I am Sybtl," she said. name." She smiled, then pointed to the cavern. "When the ice is gone, they " What? " my wife. Let's get that straight." "But...." he was no better than any other man, perhaps not so good as some because he was forty, and never had been an athlete. How was he to decide if this planet was suitable for his people, hampered by a woman, slinking through a frozen wilderness like an ice. They were safe, unless the webfoots possessed talents unknown to him. from the creek. Stinson's bare feet were numb from walking on ice. Christ, he thought, what am I doing here, anyway? He glanced down at Sybtl and remembered the webfoots. He stopped, tempted to use his cylinder and move to a disowned us." position." "I cannot leave her. She is helpless against them." "What form of primitive stupidity are you practicing now? Leave, or they will kill you." Stinson shook his head. primitive logic long before it reached your level of development." "Yes," Stinson said, "and your race no longer exists." drove them backward. "Earthman," the great voice said, "go back to your Earth. Take your inconsistencies with you. Do not come here again to infect my planet with your primitive ideas. The webfoots are not as intelligent as you, but they are sane. If you bring your people here, I shall destroy you all." The sphere of blue fire screamed away across the frozen wilderness, and hills. Sybtl shivered against his arm. "The Sand God is angry," she said. "My Well, Stinson said to himself, that does it. We are better off on "I have no ship." "Then he will kill you." She touched her fingers on his face. "I am attack. "They will not find us...." to green. Then he tires and lets winter come back again. He is the loneliest God in the universe." he will make them churn and boil, like river whirlpools in spring. At "The Sand God isn't doing this," Stinson said. "It's only a storm." Stinson had never been in a sand storm before, even on Earth. He could purposefully. Stinson prepared himself to leave. In spite of his desire "Fiend!" Stinson screamed the word, vaguely marvelling at his own fury. "Monster!" Again. "Murderer!" "Adolescent!" Stinson ignored him. He glanced down at Sybtl, who sensed that this was "Earthman, hear me."
