ET- Disconnecting Elliot

An electrical device was applied to E.T.’s chest. They zapped him, injected adrenalin, pounded on him.

  “Nothing . . . I’m drawing a blank here . . .”

  The old space voyager’s EKG reading was a solid, steady line, heart action ceased. E.T. lay dead—but Elliott stirred, all of his strength returning almost at the moment the old voyager’s heart had ceased. E.T. had found at least one of the formulas he sought, that of a shield, cast behind him as he swooned into death, so the boy could not follow.

  Elliott jerked upright in bed, screaming, “E.T., don’t go!”
