The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

PART ONE: OUR SIDE OF THE DOOR
\n<\/b>Fallows Gets His Cat
\n<\/b>The first time Stockton spoke of the little door, Fallows was under a baobab tree, waiting on a lion.
\n\u201cAfter this, if you\u2019re still looking for something to get your pulse going, give Mr. Charn a call. Edwin Charn in Maine. He\u2019ll show you the little door.\u201d Stockton sipped whiskey and laughed softly. \u201cBring your checkbook.\u201d
\nThe baobab was old, nearly the size of a cottage, and had dry rot. The whole western face of the trunk was cored out. Hemingway Hunts had built the blind right into the ruin of the tree itself: a khaki tent, disguised by fans of tamarind. Inside were cots and a refrigerator with cold beer in it and a good wifi signal.
\nStockton\u2019s son, Peter, was asleep in one of the cots, his back to them. He\u2019d celebrated his high school graduation by killing a black rhinoceros, only the day before. Peter had brought along his best friend from boarding school, Christian Swift, but Christian didn\u2019t kill anything except time, sketching the animals.
\nThree slaughtered chickens hung upside down from the branch of a camel thorn, ten yards from the tent. A sticky puddle of blood pooled in the dust beneath. Fallows had an especially clear view of the birds on the night-vision monitors, where they looked like a mass of grotesque, bulging fruits.<\/p>\n
