“The island sinks. We must hurry, Remo,” Chiun urged. Remo couldn’t even stand up straight to walk. He clenched his abdomen and felt himself be steered aboard one of the vessels on the shore. “This one is sound. It will be our safe house for the time being.”
Remo didn’t care anymore. He wanted to sleep. He wanted to have dreams about real, undecayed, clean things.
He wanted to dream about the desert.
Chiun put him on a soft mat on a carpet floor, and Remo Williams was aware of the movement of the ship. They were adrift. The island had sunk beneath them.
He envisioned, as sleep claimed him, that all the sickness and decay on Sa Mangsang’s island would be enough to pollute the oceans of the entire world.
