My theme ended up taking me the whole rest of the semester to finish. Mr. Syme glanced at me, “You finished your theme?” He looked down at the pages. “Woo-wee!

The tranquilizer dosage, plus the...events of last night really did a number on all of them.” Cleo looked at the door and then to Thomas “How is he?” The doctor shuffled a little from under his skin “He is stable. In fact, he’s normal: brain waves, heartbeat, respiration, all normal. In theory, he should

When we were done shopping we ate lunch then went back to the cabin.

Everyone agreed to play the game and went to find their
