Harold Lauder: I still want to check Stovington.

Harold Lauder: Let's just say I'm from Missouri. And I don't always take the word of people I just met as gospel.
Stu Redman: All right. But there isn't anything there you are going to want to see.

“What is all this?” Lila screamed. “What’s wrong with my man? Are we going to die? Are my babies going to die?” She had one “baby” in a headlock under each arm, their heads digging into her plentiful breasts. Luke and Bobby looked frightened and uncomfortable and rather embarrassed at the fuss she was making. “Why won’t somebody answer me? Isn’t this America?”

Stu Redman: Fine.
Dr. Dietz: Fine. Always fine. Now, just think. All the tests we ran on you and we never found a single immunity factor, not one. Oh, I'm curious. How would you explain it, Stu? Have you been touched by God? [ coughing ] Hmm?

Dr. Dietz: Hmm? [ chuckles ] Ah-ah.
Stu Redman: I see.
Dr. Dietz: Do you?

Dr. Dietz: I wonder.
Stu Redman: Where's your buddy, Denninger?
Dr. Dietz: Oh. He's dead. They're all dead. Everyone except for me and thee.

Dr. Dietz: Hole in one.
Stu Redman: Why?
Dr. Dietz: Why? Because I've decided a piece of chicken-fried crap like you doesn't deserve to live. Not with so many good men dying.

Chapter 13
Stu interrupted him with a series of harsh, dry coughs. He bent over with the force of them.
The effect on Deitz was galvanic. He was up off the bed like a shot and across to the airlock with his feet seeming not to touch the floor at all. Then he was fumbling in his pocket for the square key and ramming it into the slot.
“Don’t bother,” Stu said mildly. “I was faking.”
Deitz turned to him slowly. Now his face had changed. His lips were thinned with anger, his eyes staring. “You were what?”
“Faking,” Stu said. His smile broadened.
Deitz took two uncertain steps toward him. His fists closed, opened, then closed again. “But why? Why would you want to do something like that?”

Chapter 46
Glen looked around for a long time and then said, “I don’t think we’d better say anything about this room to Stu. I believe he came very close to dying in here.”
I looked at that sprawled body and felt creepier than ever.
“What do you mean?” Harold asked, and even he sounded hushed. It was one of the few times I ever heard Harold talk as if what he was saying wasn’t going out on a public address system.
“I believe that gentleman came in here to kill Stuart,” Glen said, “and that Stu somehow got the better of him.”
“But why?” I asked. “Why would they want to kill Stu if he was immune? It doesn’t make any sense!”
He looked at me, and his eyes were scary. His eyes looked almost dead, like a mackerel’s eyes.
“That doesn’t matter, Fran,” he said. “Sense didn’t have much to do with this place, from the way it looks. There is a certain mentality that believes in covering up. They believe in it with the sincerity and fanaticism that members of some religious groups believe in the divinity of Jesus. Because, for some people, the necessity to continue covering up even after the damage is done is all-important. It makes me wonder how many immunes they killed in Atlanta and San Francisco and the Topeka Viral Center before the plague finally killed them and made an end to their butchery. This asshole? I’m glad he’s dead. I’m only sorry for Stu, who’ll probably spend the rest of his life having nightmares about him.”
And do you know what Glen Bateman did then? That nice man who paints the horrible pictures? He went over and kicked that dead man in the face. Harold made a muffled sort of grunt, as if he was the one who had been kicked. Then Glen drew his foot back again.
“No!” Harold yells, but Glen kicked the dead man again just the same. Then he turned around and he was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, but at least his eyes had lost that awful dead-fish look.
“Come on,” he sez, “let’s get out of here. Stu was right. It’s a dead place.”
So we went out, and Stu was sitting with his back to the iron gate in the high wall that ran around the place, and I wanted to… oh go ahead, Frannie, if you can’t tell your diary, who can you tell? I wanted to run to him and kiss him and tell him I was ashamed for all of us not believing him. And ashamed of how all of us had gone on about what a hard time we’d had when the plague was on, and him hardly saying anything when all the time that man had almost killed him.

Chapter 29
“How are you feeling?” Elder asked, and even through the tinny speaker Stu could hear the nasal quality of Elder’s voice. Elder was sick.
“Just the same,” Stu said, surprised at the evenness of his voice. “Say, when do I get out of here?”
“Very soon now,” Elder said. He was pointing the gun in Stu’s general direction, not precisely at him, but not precisely away, either. He uttered a muffled sneeze. “You don’t talk much, do you?”
Stu shrugged.
“I like that in a man,” Elder said. “Your big talkers, they’re your whimperers and whiners and belly-achers. I just got the word on you about twenty minutes ago, Mr. Redman. They’re not such hot orders, but I think you’ll do okay.”
“What orders?”
“Well, I’ve been ordered to—”
Stu’s eyes flicked past Elder’s shoulder, toward the high, riveted sill of the airlock door. “Christ Jesus!” he exclaimed. “That’s a fucking rat, what kind of place are you running with rats in it?”
Elder turned, and for a moment Stu was almost too surprised by the unexpected success of his ruse to go on. Then he slid off the bed and grasped the back of his chair in both hands as Elder began to pivot toward him again. Elder’s eyes were wide and suddenly alarmed. Stu lifted the chair over his head and stepped forward, swinging it down, getting every ounce of his one-eighty behind it.
“Get back there!” Elder cried. “Don’t—”
The chair crashed down on his right arm. The gun went off, disintegrating the Baggie, and the bullet screamed off the floor. Then the gun fell to the carpet, where it discharged again.
Stu was afraid he could count on only one more blow with the chair before Elder fully recovered himself. He determined to make it a good one. He brought it around in a high hard arc, a Henry Aaron home run swing. Elder tried to get his broken right arm up and couldn’t. The legs of the chair crashed into the hood of the white-suit. The plastic faceplate splintered in Elder’s eyes and nose. He screamed and fell backward.
He rolled onto all fours and scrambled for the gun lying on the carpet. Stu swung the chair one last time, bringing it down on the back of Elder’s head. Elder collapsed. Panting, Stu reached down and grabbed the gun. He stepped away, pointing it at the prone body, but Elder didn’t move.

Chapter 59
“The next thing on the agenda—”
“Fuck your agenda!” a young woman yelled stridently. “Let’s talk about the dark man! Let’s talk about Flagg! It’s long overdue, I’d say!”
Roars of approval. Shouts of “out of order!” Disapproving babble at the young woman’s choice of words. Rumble of side-chatter.
Stu whacked at the block on the podium so hard that the mallet-head flew off his gavel. “This is a meeting here!” he shouted. “You’re going to get a chance to talk about whatever you want to talk about, but while I’m chairing this meeting, I want… to have… some ORDER!” He bellowed the last word so loudly that feedback cut through the auditorium like a boomerang, and they quieted at last.
“Now,” Stu said, his voice purposely low and calm, “the next thing is to report to you on what happened up at Ralph’s on the night of September second, and I guess that falls to me, since I’m our elected law enforcement officer.”
He had quiet again, but like the applause that had greeted Brad’s closing remarks, this wasn’t a quiet Stu liked. They were leaning forward, intent, their expressions greedy. It made him feel disquieted and bewildered, as if the Free Zone had changed radically over the last forty-eight hours and he didn’t know what it was anymore. It made him feel the way he’d felt when he had been trying to find his way out of the Stovington Plague Center—a fly caught and struggling in an invisible spider’s web. There were so many faces he didn’t recognize out there, so many strangers…
But there was no time to think about it now.
He described the events leading up to the explosion briefly, omitting Fran’s last-minute premonition; with the mood they were in, they didn’t need that.
“Yesterday morning Brad and Ralph and I went up and poked through the ruins for three hours or more. We found what seemed to be a dynamite bomb wired up to a walkie-talkie. It appears that this bomb was planted in the living room closet. Bill Scanlon and Ted Frampton found another walkie-talkie up in Sunrise Amphitheater, and we assume the bomb was set off from there. It—”
“Assume, my ass!” Ted Frampton shouted from the third row. “It was that bastard Lauder and his little whore!”
An uneasy murmur ran through the room.
These are the good guys? They don’t give a shit about Nick and Sue and Chad and the rest. They’re like a lynch-mob, and all they care about is catching Harold and Nadine and hanging them… like a charm against the dark man.
Somewhere I wrote in this massive journal about that guy in the homeless shelter I was in, where I used to yell at Lily Jang and her FOX news compatriots during the early morning hours as I sat there by myself watching the 5 AM news broadcast, about how he was trying to get me to talk about time-travel. I was quite certain that there as everywhere, even to this very day, there are somehow hidden microphones recording every noise I make, hearing me every time I let the cabinet doors slam in the kitchen.
A quick search and then a search that takes up more time than I want to spend on this did not find that reference so I am simply referring here to my memory of it, those dark days when the Veteran's Affairs had me doped up for almost two years on their psychiatrist drugs.

I also thought more about that sci-fi series from a few years back, Back Step. And I realized that I am a chrononaut. There is a literary vehicle for time travel. And in the spirit of that last episode of TNG, it starts with something small in the future, and as you look farther back in time, the larger it gets. There are some other nuances there I haven't fully figured out yet. Part of it is that my false identity is confusing me. That was an element of Back Step, where Parker was the only one who remembered all the alternate realities.

Vukovar massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vukovar massacre, also known as Vukovar hospital massacre or simply Ovcara, was a war crime that took place between November 20 and 21, 1991 near the city of Vukovar, a mixed Croat/Serb community in northeastern Croatia. A mostly Croatian group of 263 men and 1 woman (including civilians and POWs), of whom 194 have been identified, were murdered by members of the Serb militias following the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) withdrawal from Ovcara after it brought those patients there from the Vukovar hospital. The murders occurred at the end of the Battle of Vukovar.
Aftermath
Exhumation and remembrance
The Ovcara mass grave lies northeast from the facilities, one kilometer from the Ovcara-Grabovo road. It belongs to the category of the mass graves with the remains of men prisoners of war and civilians executed in the immediate vicinity or at the very place of the grave. Exhumation started on September 1, 1996 and lasted 40 days. 200 bodies were found, of which 194 were identified. Among those executed were Croatian Radio Vukovar journalist Siniša Glavaševic and his technician Branimir Polovina, both civilians.
Pursuant to the Act for Marking Mass Graves from the Croatian War of Independence, passed by the Croatian Parliament in 1996, the Ovcara Monument was the first such monument. Made by Slavomir Drinkovic and uncovered on December 29, 1998, it is a grey obelisk with a sculpted dove and the inscription:
In remembrance of 200 wounded Croatian men defenders and civilians from the Vukovar hospital who were executed in the Greater Serbian aggression against the Republic of Croatia.
There is also a memorial centre near the site of the massacre.
