Roland is in the Man in Black's trap that he left in Tull: Sylvia Pittston is leadi ng all of Tull's towns people to kill Roland. Roland shoots at the ground, intending to get the townfolk to back off, but they proceed to throw wood at him. From the crowd Sheb approaches with Allie in front of him, using her as a human shield. Allie is raving mad, claiming she told Nort "Nineteen" and that she knows now what lies beyond death, and requests Roland kills her. Sheb doesn't think Roland will, but he does. He shoots Sheb, and then the rest of the townsfolk rush towards him.
