Ta první věta je právě tou největší potíží – vůbec nechápu
důvod/smysl 2. kondicionálu. Jako takový poslední pokus jsem opsal kousek

I had to go on. If I turned back, I´d be a pussy for life. When I was
neraly halfway across I stopped again and looked up. I had almost caught up
with Vern, who was being very cautious. Chris and Teddy had neraly reached the
other side. And altough I´ve written seven books about people who can do
strange things like read other people´s minds and see into the future, that
was when I had my first and last experience of it myself. I bent down and
touched the track. It was shaking hard, altough it hadn´t made
a sound.
I have never been as frightened as I was at that moment, holidng that
live track. My whole body just stopped working. My legs felt like water. My
mouth opened – I didn´t open it, it opned by itself. I couldn´t move, but
I could hear and see and sense everything inside me andf for miles around me.
I thought of Ray Brower, and I thought that Vern and I would soon be
joining him.
That thought unlocked my body. I jumped to my feet. At least, I suppose
I jumped, to me it felt as if I was moving slowly up through five hundred feet
of water. I screamed, “TRAIN!” and began to run.
