Selina Frye
witnessSelina Frye tottered to the telephone amid the destruction of her family's farm and spread the first news of the horror's second, deadlier phase.
She spoke while the house was still coming apart. The telephoning had only just been proposed and Elmer was about to agree when the noise of splintering wood burst in upon their deliberations; what went out over the line was what could be said in that moment, and no more.
