The Drawing of the Three question.

**Jesgriebel** · September 21st, 2011

So I finished The Drawing of the Three a few days ago, and have begun reading The Waste Lands. I am at a loss for a certain section of The Drawing, though.
When Eddie is tied up on the beach, and the lobstrosities are coming out from the water, before we are cast back into the gunslinger in Mort's world, one of the lobstrosities tears open Eddie's face and eye. Then, when Roland comes back through the door, it was as if it never happened.
There is no further mention of the injury he sustained. It was as if it never happened, and yet clearly it was written into the book. My OCD has gotten the best of me, and I have attempted puzzling it out on my own but to no avail.

Any help?

Hmmm... I just read that book over the summer and now I'm drawing a blank. I'm sure other members on the board know exactly how it happened, but I feel like the lobster was about to scratch Eddie when Roland came through the door and shot the lobster... If the scratch happened, I want to say it was just a nick, and not a serious injury - although very close...
