  "I did not know how long you were going to take to utter those words," Chiun said, padding into the room. "Honestly, Remo, I had visions of my spirit being forced to forego the Void in order to lead you around by the hand in the Old Assassins' Home, never having made the final step to full Masterhood."

  "I don't understand," Remo said. "I figured you'd be upset."

  "Upset?" Chiun asked. "Upset that you have achieved what no white ever has? Upset that you have surpassed most Masters who have come before? Upset that you have made every moment of your existence a hymn glorifying the House of Sinanju? How could I be upset with you, Remo Williams?"

  "I don't know." Remo shrugged. "Years of practice?"

  "When the time finally comes to ascend, a Master knows it. Therefore, if you say you are ready, you are." His narrow chest puffed out with pride. "What's more, I, the Master who trained you, say you are."

  "That's it?" Remo asked. "I just have to say I'm the Master of Sinanju and I become the Master of Sinanju? Zip, bang, boom, end of story?"

  At this the old man cackled. Shaking his head, he turned from Remo's bedside. There were tears of mirth in his eyes.

  "End of story," the tiny Korean said, laughing. He was still laughing when he left the room. Finally alone, Remo sank back into his reed mat. "I don't like the sounds of that," he muttered to himself.

  "Believe me, you shouldn't," came the disembodied reply.

  Epilogue

  He Keeps Going and Going

  By Richard L. Hertz

  MAINE-It's not easy to keep up with Stewart McQueen these days. After a near fatal accident two years ago, it was rumored that the famed horror novelist had been haunted by the real-life specter of writer's block.

  "That was never true, obviously," says Shirley Ederman, a spokesperson for Scrimshaw Publishing. "Stewart had simply taken some time off to recuperate and reflect."

  He has obviously emerged from his seclusion well-rested. The novelist-long famous for his tireless work ethic and prolific output-has been burning up the bestseller lists with no less than three number-one books in as many weeks. The release of a fourth is planned for next week.

  Retailers are already swamped with preorders for The Devil Dolphins of the Town in Which I Live.

  McQueen surprised many in the press when he showed up at the book party for Dolphins without the limp that has plagued him since his accident. In a statement after the event, the author said, "I was damaged, but I have initiated repairs."
