[Deo volente]

Santelli had vanished. A morning came, and he was missing from work; a few thoughtless people commented on his absence On the next day nobody mentioned him. On the third day Winston went to the CNBC website to look at the home page. One of the links carried a list of the network's reporters, of whom Santelli had been one. It looked almost exactly as it had looked before. Nothing had been crossed out, but it was one name shorter. It was enough. Santelli had ceased to exist; he had never existed.
