Sara ran after him, feeling annoyed again. "What's inside?!" she shouted.

Sara stopped at the jagged window, the shards poking out in dangerous directions. Jimmy had already made it somehow inside the house. She could hear his voice from inside.



"Oh man...."Jimmy's voice echoed from within the dark, depths of the abandon house. "You gotta see this..." He said with a trouble voice that echoed within the home's interior.

"Huh? What?" Sara picked up the pace, going in after him, but keeping an eye out as she did so.

Sara's feet crunched on the glass beneath her feet as she made her way into the house. Here eye's were just adjusting to the total lack of light inside. Just a moment ago she heard Jimmy's voice. For a minute or two she could make out nothing at all but dark lumps of furniture, the mass of the chest of drawers by the wall, and the white patch where a rug was at the bottom of the floor.

Then Sara heard something scuffling...

Sara froze, looked around, and listened in.

Sara squinted through the darkness. It was hard to see. Whatever it was was shuffling towards her. It came into the light, boxy frame of someone or something lumbering forward.

It was.....

A robot.

Sara gaped for a moment, then stepped back and squinted again. How big was it?

Sara squinted. It looked like a robot....but it didn't sound like one. Instead it sounded like some kid shuffling about in the darkness.




Then she saw. It was a kid. Wearing a cheap, self-made Halloween costume.

Could Jimmy have put that on in the time that passed?

Jimmy appeared next to Sara, so it could be him



"Hey, what's taking you so l...."Jimmy's voice stopped short"What the heck! hehehehehe.. What a loser costume!" He said, clearly not afraid at all once he realized that that was all it was

"Is that a friend of yours?" Sara questioned Jimmy.

Jimmy looked at the kid in the Robot Halloween costume.Then he looked back at Sara. The kid dressed as a robot still didn’t move or say anything.



"I thought he was your friend Sara"Jimmy said"What the heck! Is this some kind of joke Sara?" He said, clearly Now getting annoyed.

"I should be asking you that!" Sara fired back, then turned to the "robot". "Okay, who are you?"

The kid took off his Robot helmet to reveal wild hair that sprouted in every direction.

"Leonard." Leonard said. "What are you guys doing in this spooky house? I'm here because I heard a smashing sound and I wanted to see if my costume would be scary enough to scare the ghosts or whatever was making the sound. I got in through the front door."

Ghosts? ...Oh. "Like you'd see ghosts through that," Sara promptly strikes up a dismissive tone.

"Ha! Right! You couldn't even see your feet if you looked down!" Jimmy said, piling on.

"Well.." the kid said, cradling the large, cardboard, robot helmet in the nook of his arm. "I probably can't see a lot. But it sounded like an emergency. And on this block, ya know, with everyone dissappearing, I thought that it might have something to do with the things I've been drawing lately."

"I've drawn some pictures lately from dreams I've had. And I think some of them might have something to do with whats happening. Or what's happened. I've seen some strange things!" Leonard announced, voice slightly cracking at that last sentence.

"Oh yeah?" Sara gave him a skeptical look. "Like what?"

In reply to Sara (msg # 59):

“ i’ve got a notepad out front. It’s got a whole bunch of different kinds of drawings I need. I usually just draw things that I see in my dreams. Lately it’s been some really strange stuff. You can take a look at it. You’re like, and older kids so maybe you know what stuff is about.“

"Of course I do," Sara replied, trying not to seem too intrigued. Maybe she did know?

"mmm.kay.." The kid said. "Follow me. Oh, and try not to make too much noise. I dont' know what's in this creepy house."

"Lead the way!" Jimmy said, and he started to follow the kid in to the darkness of the house.

Sara followed Jimmy, frowning in silence and darkness.

Sara followed Jimmy, and Jimmy followed Leonard. And soon, all three kids were now outside of the house. “Well I got a bunch of these drawings in this binder.“ Leonard said. He picked up a plastic binder and as he did pages fell out from both sides onto the grass. “I make them from different dreams that I have. If I have a dream or a nightmare and the first thing I do is I get up and I grab the binder and I try to draw what I remember. Oh wait. That’s not the first thing that I do. First thing I do is go to the bathroom. I don’t like the feeling of having to pee when I draw

Is he still wearing the robot costume?

Sara glances tentatively at the scattered pages.
