I despise required reading with every cell in my body. It does not matter how interesting or gripping the content is. If someone tells me I must read it; I will hate it. So naturally, I went into Assignment 9 with nothing but dread. Jeff’s book is fascinating, but that doesn’t change the fact that I feel the urge to refuse on pure principle.

I only call you when it’s half past five This time when Lance is able to open his eyes, he’s not being dragged. He’s not even in the desert anymore. He’s in a house, or something like that. He knows he’s on a couch, staring at a blank, wooden ceiling. He conjures the strength to lift himself with his arm. He scans the room, he sees the music pod sitting on the table in front of him. Right next to the music pod is the gun. He looks down to his leg, it’s wrapped neatly with a bandage. It looks
Escape David David Johnson hid under the bed in his room. The heavy footsteps drew closer, and David held his breath to try avoid detection. As the footsteps paused outside his door, David’s heart began to pound with dread. His pounding heart made it hard to breath, and at only seven years old, David couldn’t hold his breath for very long.
