52 deadtime

. . eric paused to allow the two women to pass him , taking up a position  in the rear to contain the impulses of any  more strangglers .
the column stopped to look for jaana  , but rather  to monitor  the   progress of the possed that had split off  . the trio retracing their  steps  were  approaching  the network  of the trails on  the canyon floor , before  long they   would  be approaching the oasis   at phantom ranch .
eric abruptly  pulled off his sunglassses and screamed , " jules !  jules ! god   damn it , jules !
his angry  beloow sliced through the morning calm and the vehement echo followed  instantly  , bouncing fresh rage off  the vertical faces of  the gorge .
" you have the fucking car keys  ." he said ." god damn it ."
he threw  his hat  down at his feet  and kicked it  . it levitated  about  eighteen inches  before  it floated down and tumbled over the edge of the narrow trail . it skipped and stopped and started again until it got caught on a rock outcropping about halfway between  the switchbacks .
