The Man With The Lead Stomach (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Here too doth reign the goddess Love, With all her suite in heav’n above, Whence cast they spells from up on high To make poor mortals sob and sigh. RÉMI BELLEAU Thursday 25 October 1761 Nicolas hacked away at the mob with his sword. He cut and thrust, yelling at his assailants, who in turn began to scream. They were done for and fell on top of each other, either wounded or dead; those who did escape fled up the tower’s narrow staircase. He felt the same satisfaction as he did felling a tree, but then suddenly found himself sliding down into a bottomless pit, ending up in a dazed state on the edge of a pool, whose surface stirred with slow, strange movements. On an island covered with seaweed, a young man wearing a puce coat and an iron mask was stacking bundles of wood around a stake. An elderly woman with the head of a rabbit, which had been half severed from her body, held out her arms to Nicolas. He wanted to wade into the water. He had barely dipped his toe in when he began to fall again and found himself at the foot of his bed.
