The End
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A MAN named Eddie and it (1 begins ) at the end, with Eddie (2died) in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also (3 beginnings ). We just don?Tt know it at the time.
THE LAST HOUR of Eddie?Ts life was spent, like most of the others, at Ruby Pier, an (4museum park ) by a great ( 5 grey ocean). The park had the usual attractions, a board-walk, a Ferris wheel, (6 royal coasters ), bumper cars, a taffy stand, and (7an????.) where you could shoot streams of water into a clown?Ts mouth. It also had a big new ride called Freddy?Ts Free Fall, and this would be where Eddie would be (8 killed ), in an accident that would make ( 9 newspapers ) around the state.
AT THE TIME of his death, Eddie was a (10 Scot ), white-haired old man, with a short neck, a ( 11 belt chest ), thick fore-arms, and a (12 faced ) on his right shoulder. His legs were thin and (13 vained ) now, and his left knee, wounded in the war, was ruined by (14??.). He used a cane to get around. His face was broad and (15?..) from the sun, with salty (16 weaker) and a lower jaw that (17perturbed) slightly, making him look prouder than he felt. He kept a cigarette behind his left ear and (18???) hooked to his belt. He wore (19 rubber ?..) shoes. He wore an old (20?..). His pale brown uniform (21suggested ) a workingman, and a workingman he was.
EDDIE?TS JOB WAS ?omaintaining? the rides, which really meant keeping them safe. Every afternoon, he walked the park, checking on each (22 attraction ), from the Tilt-A-Whirl to the Pipeline Plunge. He looked for (23 broken boost ), loose (24boats ), worn-out steel. Sometimes he would stop, his eyes (25 crying over ), and people walking past thought something was wrong. But he was listening, that?Ts all. After all these years he could hear trouble, he said, in the spits and (26started??.. ) and (27????) of the equipment.
WITH 50 MINUTES left on earth, Eddie took his last walk along Ruby Pier. He passed (28 an elderly couple).
?oFolks,? he (29)mambo, touching his cap.
They nodded politely. Customers knew Eddie. At least the regular ones did. They saw him summer after summer, one of those faces you (30associated ) with a place.His work shirt had a (31parts ) on the chest that read EDDIE above the word MAINTENANCE, and sometimes they would say, ?oHiya, Eddie Maintenance,? although he never thought that was funny.
Today, it so happened, was Eddie?Ts birthday, his 83rd. A doctor, last week, had told him he had shingles. Shingles? Eddie didn?Tt even know what they were. Once, he had been strong enough to lift a (32????) in each arm. That was a long time ago.
?oEDDIE!???TAKE ME, Eddie!???Take me!?
Forty minutes until his death. Eddie made his way to the front of the roller coaster line. He (33 rolled ) every attraction at least once a week, to be certain the (34 breaks ) and steering were solid. Today was coaster day?"the ?oGhoster Coaster? they called this one?"and the kids who knew Eddie (35 yelt ) to get in the (36 court ) with him.
Children liked Eddie. Not teenagers. Teenagers gave him (37 headache ). Over the years, Eddie figured he?Td seen every sort of do-nothing, snarl-at-you teenager there was. But children were different. Children (38 looked ) at Edie-who, with his protruding lower jaw, always seemed to be grinning, like (39????..)?"and they (40 trusted ) him. They drew in like cold hands to a fire. They (41 hugged ) his leg. They played with his keys. Eddie mostly (42 granted ), never saying much. He figured it was because he didn?Tt say much that they liked him.
Now Eddie (43 tapped ) two little boys with backward base-ball caps. They raced to the cart and (44??..). Eddie handed his cane to the ride (45.........) and slowly lowered him self between the two.
?oHere we go?Here we go!..? one boys (46?????.), as the other pulled Eddie?Ts arm around his shoulder. Eddie lowered the lap bar and clack-clack-clack, up they went.
A STORY WENT around about Eddie. When he was a boy, growing up by this very same pier, he got in an (47???.). Five kids from Pitkin Avenue had (48????.) his brother, Joe, and were about to give him a beating. Eddie was a block away, on a stoop, eating a sandwich. He (49 hurted ) his brother scream. He ran to the alley, (50???) a garbage can lid, and sent two boys to the hospital.
