All was still and quiet, and for just a moment she could almost believe that the previous night had all been a terrible dream. “I’m sure I can find you something to eat that’s a little less. “I’m sorry,” said Bobbie, “but that’s where I draw the line! Maybe that makes me a bad big sister, but so be it.” She sighed. “Well, I understand, I guess, but you can’t eat me.” “You’re just hungry, aren’t you?” said Bobbie. Johnny, unseen inside his prison, growled with agitation. “Okay, that was probably my fault,” said Bobbie, her breathing ragged and her knees shaking. She could just see the top of his green head, turning tirelessly in an endless clockwise circle as he looked for a way out of his one-block-wide prison.īobbie blocked the windows, moved a lantern so that its light would better compensate for the lack of sunshine, and then cut away one side of Johnny’s enclosure.īobbie dodged his grasp, quickly shoving him back into his pen and sealing it up once more.
